Hi Katie et al.

I saw the author on Oprah a week or so ago.  The show had segments on
moms expecting twins and quints and a nice segment with Adrienne
Barbeau, who made some great comments about breastfeeding her twins.
The next section featured Ms. Iovine, who made some disparaging remarks
about your breasts "taking on a life of their own" when you breastfeed.
Fortunately, Adrienne Barbeau countered with some wonderful comments
about the wonderful relationship breastfeeding has helped her attain
with her sons.

I too had the sense this woman had absolutely no credentials or research
behind her work - merely her own opinion.  How sad!
