Debra's story prompts this anecdote. My friend who is nursing a one year
old was acutely ill recently with a GI bug, barely able to stand upright,
having vomiting and diarrhea. Baby was fine, of course, and getting most of
her food from BF. I suggested mother express a little milk and drink it
herself, as she was unable to keep any other fluids down. I figured the
antibodies in her milk could help her own gut deal with the illness. She
phoned the next day to say she had tried it, had kept it down, and her
symptoms began to subside so that she was mostly recovered the next morning.
Only an anecdote, I know, but do any of you think that would've happened if
she'd fed herself a little formula instead??
Debra, how did the staff react to the taste of formula, anyhow?

who admits to having tasted her own milk too, and even admits to finding it
pleasant-tasting, but not to the degree of one father, who told me it was no
problem if they ran out of milk for coffee as long as his wife was BF- 'It
saves me having to put sugar in, too!' And that was in Seattle in 1981.
