<<Katie Curic hosted and was the voice in the video about Evergreen
Hospital
in washington. If so, how odd that she would be so negative about
breastfeeding on national
television! >>
Here again, I must caution against nasty letters to Katie Couric. She
seems an ally to bf
and maybe was just truly asking if 7 babies can indeed be bf. Perhaps
she just doesn't
know. Therefore, I just sent a little mediawatch postcard on this one
saying, "If feeding at the breast is
not possible, mothers are encouraged to express their milk for their
babies. Breastmilk
would be the food of choice for preterm and sick babies."
You could go on to say there are cases of mothers bf triplets, quads,
etc. And any and
all breastmilk would be extremely beneficial.
