That bothers me. I got to thinking why I fed abm to my firstborn without
much of a second thought (having been told to wean by my doctor due to
mastitis), and I guess it's because I figured it was "what babies ate", you
know, some nebulous, unnameable stuff that goes along with all the other
mysteries of new parenthood. BF was just an interesting try, an experiment,
not much importance in succeeding or failing. Thank GOODNESS someone
knocked some sense into me somehow.
