This is a wonderful thread, and I look forward to hearing from many of the
rest of you. I am very pleased to be able to publicly thank my dear friend
Martha Toomey. Her husband was in graduate school in Anthropology with me
and my husband in Indiana in the late 1970s. She had a son who was about 4
months old when I became pregnant with Miranda (now 16!). I had,
truthfully, never given a moment's thought to having children at all, nor to
how I would feed them. I had never seen anyone breastfeed a child, except
Martha. I didn't know then that I had been breastfed for 18 months back in
1955-56 (thanks Mom!). Martha took me to La Leche League meetings and the
rest is history. I never thought for a minute about using bottles. Thanks
Martha!! Little did she suspect that this would become an academic interest
as well.
