I love these literary quotes, especially this one:

From Lactnet:
>>Another precious birthday gift was being a breastfed baby.  To be born with a
>>silver spoon in one's mouth does not always insure health or perfect
>>development, but to be born with a mammilla in one's mouth takes out for the
>>baby an irrevocable life insurance...." Petticoat Surgeon, by Bertha van
Hoosen, People's Book Club, 1947,
>>referring to her birth in 1863.

"But to be born with BOTH a silver spoon and a mammilla in one's mouth is
about as GOOD AS IT GETS!"
(Pam Wiggins, 1997)
