<< A baby who breastfeeds with a pause at the chin on maximum
 opening, just got a mouthful. When are we going to understand this? >>

oh, come on jack, just repeat after me "you don't have any milk until your
milk 'comes in,' you don't want to starve your baby, do you?" "your baby is
latched on just fine, your nipples don't look too bad, don't be a wimp, now,
surely it can't hurt that much" "well, lots of mothers can't make enough
milk, now here are some samples of formula for you to have for free," oh, i
can't even type any more of them, they make me sick.

of course there's one said in private, too, "he has a lot of experience so
that's why he can tell by looking, but that's not reliable and its dangerous
to not do a test weigh."

here's your new motto: it ain't milk until its measured. look how convenient
it is to look at the markings on the side of the bottle. metric AND american.
