Barbara, I'm confused.  I get "discover why" and the "plan to help feed the
baby" and recover the mother (milk supply, intact body, emotions, ego - I
assume these are all included) but how can we  be ethically charged to do
the sometimes impossible?  Many times interventions must continue; sometimes
the system is partially broken and the best we can do is the best we can do.
I also don't like the phrase "growing better than reference i.e. formula,
counterparts".  I assume you mean growing BETTER, i.e., better brains,
better bonding, better immune system, normal weight gain but "growing
better" sounds so much like growing heavier and I know that isn't what you
mean.
