The article is not so much about BFing on demand, but feeding in demand in general. I think it's a good thing. Children do better when their needs are met. I don't like the tagline that it "takes its toll on mothers."

Yeah, It's formula and breast but as I breast feed I posted it here.
I didnt like this bit...

I dont think I'm exhausted or grumpy. I enjoy feeding my baby girl it makes me happy.
