the baby. I have worked with new moms in the hospital where we had no choice

have enough pumped milk, baby not nursing effectively). >>
Should following rule#1 keep us from asking ourselves how we ever get to a
place where a baby needs to eat and we have no breastmilk (in the breast or
expressed) available to feed her?
