In cultures where boys are the preferred sex -   might mothers make more of
an effort to continue breastfeeding inspite of difficulties?
I never had any great breastfeeding problems but I think what brought me to
this lifelong passion was falling in love with the magic of breastfeeding. I
was, and still am, entranced by it all.
On our maternity floor, we too are always a bit more optimistic when a
preemie is a girl - they do seem to do better. Sincerely, Toby (Haifa,
