Pat wrote, speaking of twins' individual feeding styles:

Mom said that, when they grew up, Benjamin would go to
+AD4-the +ACI-drive-through+ACI- and Daniel would go to the gormet restaurant for a
+AD4-2-hour dinner.

Your analogy is fabulous.... Can we infer that Daniel obviously likes to
savor the flavor, delight in the atmosphere at the eatery, make food intake
an experience not to be missed, while Benjamin is an on the go, take care of
business, let's do it and get on to the next task kind of kid?  Taking it
further, we can theorize that once he's a grown man, the women in Daniel's
life will get to eat at 4 star restaurants over long romantic meals and
sensuous delights, while Benjamin's women will have to be okay with fast
food drive throughs or grabbing a quick bite and getting on to the next
thing on the to do list?  Does my personal bias toward 4 star men show much?

Putting smiles aside, with your permission, I'm going to borrow your analogy
for use in my breastfeeding classes.  It helps so much to use examples like
yours to help learners synthesize information and be able to apply it to
their experiences with their baby's individual style.

Happy to be married to a 4 star man, and to have kids who were both 4 star
breastfeeders,
