Hi all-
When my daughter was about 2 1/2 and still nursing avidly
one of her grandmothers gave her a baby
doll with a bottle (No I hadn't seen it first). Everyone was amazed when
she started to feed the doll the bottle. They weren't sure that she knew
what a bottle was. I promptly asked her why she wasn't nursing the
baby. She looked at her chest, and then at me in complete disdain, and
said "but I don't have any nursers!" I launched into the complete
breast size lecture. It is a good thing that I didn't know about
insufficient glandular tissue then. I might have given her the wrong advice.
