Hi All,
a friend who is in the breastfeeding world shared something with me
today which amused me, with regards to my research into the Ezzo program
and their promotion of scheduled feeding.

I was saying that animals (thinking of primates) nurse their young on
demand and she replied that that wasn't true of all species - pigs,
apparently, nurse their young when it's convenient for them and have
conscious control of their letdown. If a mother pig is worried or
frightened, she can actually refuse to nurse her young altogether, and
even if they can get to latch on, they get no milk without her consent.

So there you have it. Scheduled feeding is natural - for a pig!
