Andrew says "The statement "it feels right to give one a bottle" is
absolutely absurd."

Well, I have to say that it may "sound" absurd to us, from the heights of
our vast wisdom and knowledge, but who are we to say what is or is not
absurd to the person making the statement?

It may BE absurd, from a detached standpoint, to say that this one "should"
be BF and that one "should" have a bottle", but to say that what someone
*feels* is absurd is not a legitimate position. Well, at least it's not
going to be very effective in changing people's minds.
