RE: SIL is thinking of NOT breastfeeding this time
Depending on her situation it may BE easier for her, at least at first. If she has 2 active boys running around, and not a lot of hands on daily support, it could be hard for her to envision having the time that it takes to nurse a newborn. If I were her, I would be worried about being able to take the time to nurse while entertaining two other active children. Heck, I'm worried about the time it will take to nurse with ONE other fairly laid back child LOL!
