Breast  Is Best? 
This Bad Mom Trusts the Bottle
By Tish  Durkin"
~~~
Well actually it might help my son, who is preparing to give a talk on  
breastfeeding to his college class in Effective Speaking. I think this will help  
him understand the mindset he might experience when he shares all his facts and 
 his clear conviction that everyone, everyone should breastfeed or support  
breastfeeding. ( BTW, I may have to set him up with the relative of a LLLL or  
LC, someone who can deal with him if they have children ...:) Smirking  
slightly, but I was tempted to write this woman and say that I could all but  
guarantee the gentlest lactational experience with a LLLL, but for now I remain  
silent. She will not be moved. The really sad part is the blackNwhite of it all,  
either I breastfeed always and forever and have no life, or I formula feed 
and  get back to what I want as soon as possible. I know plenty of "self_" 
focused  moms who breastfeed when they want, and hire a nanny for other hours of 
the day  and night , or leave every evening and let dad do bottlefeeds, and  
sometimes it's even her milk in the bottle, and I have to believe those  babies 
are at least better off with that level of breastfeeding and nurturing  than 
none at all.
Anyway, thanks for sending.
