When people make claims to show how breastfeeding is BETTER than bottle-feeding, I always think back to the story of Cain and Abel.  They were both breastfed.  There were no guns or bottles, but Cain still got jealous and murdered Abel.  We have to be careful about the claims we make.  I really, really like the concept of emphasizing that breastfeeding is normal and species-specific milk.  It's logical and simple.  No guilt required.

Thank you to Julie, Heather, Judy, Lydia, Liz and any others whose posts have not reached the digests yet for references and suggestions.  My apologies.  Right after I posted that people who were breastfed are "just nicer people" I thought of many people I know who were breastfed and are NOT nice people.  (But I really think most are.) May I forward your responses to my client because I think she would be interested in your comments as a psychologist, not just a future breastfeeding mom?
