"However, statistically, duration of breastfeeding isn't very long in the
U.S., & probablly not much better in Canada, is it? Not that I am saying
that this can be blamed on bottles, but I think they play a part, sorry I
do!
Bottles and babies go togetherin our culture, even the pacifier thing, if
new mothers were only more aware of how often babies can feed, & still be
normal, & not go reaching for that pacifier...."
I completely agree. I think the commercial phenomenon of "baby = bottle/pacifier" interferes with breastfeeding in a big way, whether it be in people's psyches or in practice.
Just my opinion...
