>>When does difficulty feeding whether from sucking problems, epidurals,
prematurity,etc. become too much?  When is it time to quit trying?

It depends on the family.  If the effort to breastfeed is creating a wedge
between mother and baby and if that can't be fixed that is a "time to quit
for awhile" signal to me.  I ask the mom.

>>The husband was haggling (arguing) with a local woman when she exposed her
breast and started squirting milk at him.  He was a bit embarrassed, but
laughed along with everyone else who witnessed the exchange.

I can't remember just where I saw this, maybe it was a "true crimes" show or
something.  The story was of gypsies who were robbing a store.  They were
close to being caught and one of the women created a diversion by squirting
her breastmilk at the someone.  Sorry if this is racist.
