Sudden thought: Perhaps all mothers who choose to feed ABM instead of breastfeed; or for those who switch to formula before the baby is a year old should be (required) encouraged to pump for two to three weeks just in case the baby is intolerant to the formula. Then they wouldn't have to relactate!! :) I mean, the docs encourage giving formula "just in case" and introducing bottles early on "just in case." What about telling moms they need to keep their milk supply up "just in case" there is a tornado/hurricane/earthquake/blizzard/flood and they are unable to get fresh water or ABM to feed their babies??? What a thought -- and wouldn't the pump companies LOVE me!! Tee hee.... Jan Barger (in warmish Wheaton)
