I reached my 3-posts-per-day quotum sooner than I thougt yesterday, so here's my last answer to Jaye, with some delay:
   
  Dear Jaye,
  I think we're dealing with misunderstandings here.
  I thought we were talking otherwise healthy kids and moms - no I see 
you're talking premies. I thought we're talking long term fulltime 
pumping - now I see you're talking waiting till baby is grown and better 
capable of feeding at breast. 
  I work with mainly healthy term newborns and older babies and moms 
who kind of choose to pump and bottlefeed for convenience sake. Or 
because trying to get baby drinking properly is to much of a hassle. Or who 
think they've been told that pumping is a normal part of breastfeeding 
or who honestly think to have learned that breast*milk*feeding equals 
breastfeeding for 100%. I do see a horrifying rise in those moms in my 
corner!
   
  Warmly,
