How much I agree. (When attending a LLL convention with my adopted
daughter 32 years ago, I wondered what the hotel cleaning ladies would
think when they saw the jug of distilled water and the can of formula
powder in my room!)

On a positive note, I was surfing channels the other day and came across
a shopping advertisement for helpful things to buy when taking a baby
traveling. No only was there a folding co-sleeper, but when describing
the bottle warmer, the lady said matter of factly that the mother, her
friend, was breastfeeding, but in some situations, took along a bottle of
breastmilk for her baby. The milk in the bottle really looked like it may
have been EBM! The difference in appearance is subtle, but real, I
believe.
