<<I realized that most babies I see out in the world are strapped into
strollers, down at adult knee level, with plugs in their mouths.>>

At our local county fair, last weekend, there were a number of teenagers
with blinking pacifiers in their mouths. It was bad enough that there were
babies being toted around in buckets with these stupid pacifiers, but to see
a group of 15yo girls with blinking pacifiers in their mouths?

The interesting thing I noticed, though, is the considerable number of
teenagers with babies, and many of them were being carried/passed around.
About a year of age, the baby was strapped in and either asleep or
screaming.

So, is the goal mothering, or breastfeeding? It is quite the conundrum!
