I'm not up to date on all the breastfeeding books (or purported bf books) on
the market, but I do know that the Baby Whisperer states in no uncertain
terms that from day four on,  mom should only breastfeed one side per feeding
for no more than 15 minutes (though since it takes 18 minutes to get to the
hind milk from the quencher milk, I'm not sure how that figures).

It might be a good idea to see just what our parents are reading and know
what is in the book so that we can head them off at the pass.

If I had the time and energy, I'd get a book review list started so that we'd
all be up on what's out there in the ozone.

But -- no time, no energy....
