Jill, the mother you were working with said "This advice apparently had its
origins from some research done in =
Wales on underweight babies and it was observed that some would do =
better if only offered one breast.  The result of this research was =
then taken out of context and used as a guideline for all babies."

--Shades of the misinterpretation of the Woolridge and Fisher paper on feeding
from one breast only!!!!  This is another breastfeeding crime -- taking the
results of research and mis-applying them in a rote and unthinking fashion --
maybe when you, yourself, haven't even read the paper!
