"I never thought I'd enjoy breastfeeding as much as I did," says Karyn Agosto, of North Andover, Massachusetts. "I was one of the very fortunate women whose babies took to breastfeeding pretty easily...but it certainly wasn't always an easy road, particularly when Kate refused to take a bottle until she was 10-months-old!"
