I saw this segment on GMA this a.m. also.  I was also a bit disturbed by the first mother's story.  As others have said, she found the idea of drinking breastmilk disgusting, she was made to drink from all three bottles (just taste, not drain them) and thought they were then contaminated so she
couldn't feed them to the baby. This, then "forced" to actually breastfeed her baby on the airplane which she chooses not to do in public, she said.   *Fortunately* for her, her seat mate was a woman who held a blanket up so that she could nurse her baby on the plane!  This is another twist on the
"I want my baby to get my breastmilk because I know it's best for them, but ooooohhhh, I am not comfortable with the idea of breastfeeding" saga, where women are more comfortable putting a machine on their breast than a baby.  Sigh...we still have work to do, but at least her baby was still getting
breastmilk!

Marsha, who is wiped out after, first the conference, then WBW.  Hope it went great for all my list-mates!
