Laurie's excerpts/ writes:
"Perhaps most important for us is to realize that human milk is not
simply
a food but rather a complex, human infant support system."

This is excellent wording - nice to see it in print here. Helping families
understand this is one way we support moms in the face of the "well he
needs food and formula is food" opinions... I seem to remember Miriam
Labbok
saying that the nutritional aspect of breastfeeding is nearly the least
important in the long scheme of things. (Miriam? )
Thanks for sharing.
Peace,
