If I remember correctly, you said your baby is OVER a year old.  The
staff is insisting on giving a BOTTLE!!!??!?   What on earth is the
thinking behind this when even ABM babies are supposed to be weaned to a
cup by a year?  That makes no sense to me, and I agree with the other
postings about biohazards, the urine, etc. from diapers is more dangerous
than breastmilk.  It is really funny that someone (I forget who, sorry!)
mentioned moms not even tasting their own milk.  I tasted mine (just as I
tasted all of the foods, meds, etc. before giving them to my daughter)
and all of my friends (very young, no kids) found this "disgusting."  How
funny to think it is delicious to drink a beverage from a cows teat!
Well, live and learn...  People fear what they know least about I guess--
I have an irrational "fear" of formula! *G*
