Heather says
I think there may be a strand of thinking that says 'this is free so it
must be good and no one wants to miss out on a free gift' but I don't know
that we can say this is the primary reason why mothers took up the offer.
as a non breastfeeding example of 'not wanting to miss out', my elderly
next door neighbour blames his bad teeth on the war. He says that before
the war they never ate sweets, but when rationing came in there was a
small provision in the ration for sweets and his family started buying
them so as not to miss out
BUT
I think prob Heather is right in that it was the cork let out of the
bottle. Having spoken to many women who had babies post war, many did
actually breastfeed, some have told me with pride that they never
bothered with bottles just went onto the cup, but don't know how long
breastfeeding continued. I guess that mothers whose early babies were fed
NDM probably continued to do so with later ones, and it was available for
those with difficulties of any sort, and it snowballed from there
