WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH 6 MONTHS! (yes I am shouting!) and the younger the baby
the sooner milk supply will be established (this is also incorrect, it's
basic physiology that the more frequently the breast is emptied the quicker
relactation proceeds  and there may weel be a correlation with age but what
is written is misleading.
Sigh!!
I think it's great that this press release has been put out but it's so
frustrating to read such misinformation!
