My cousin from AL was visitng my daughter and asked her what kind of bottles
she was going to use. My daughter said "None" I'm going to breastfeed. My
cousin said good but what kind of bottles are you going to use? His wife
pumped and bottlefed, didn't put the baby to breast, is this a south thing
also?
