Breastmilk is nutritionally superior to formula milk.

Babies do not sleep 8 hours at a stretch at night at 3 weeks. You can't make it. It's cruel to try.
Some things are not "parental choice" issues, like feeding a newborn skim-milk from a cow because you don't want it to get too fat.
Some things really are "parental choice" issues, like which sets of mutually contradictory evidence-based advice one follows about pacifier use, cosleeping, etc.
If one child is reading quietly upstairs and the other is hiccupping contentedly in her pram, it's time to make tea and read "The Keeper of the Bees". Self-massage of sling-abused shoulders optional.
