That dang Katie Couric is at it again.  She has never been a supporter of
natural birth or breastfeeding on her show, and her casual comments hold a
great deal of influence with the American public because she is such a
well-know and respected young woman.
 Anyway, today on the show they were doing an update on the 7 babies, the
icons they used were seven Baby Bottles, numbered from 1-7 in pink or blue,
representing each baby.  During an interview with the perinatologist, the
doctor stated that in a few days the babies would be ready to receive a
mixture of breastmilk and premature baby formula. Katie said "Oh, surely
she won't be able to breastfeed those babies!  Am I right in asuming she
won't be able to breastfeed?!" and the doctor replied that the mom was
fully intending to pump her milk and whatever amounts she produced would be
distributed amoung the babies.
 Take that, Katie.
I know the NBC address is floating around somewhere...
