Not at all a terrible statement! Don't we always try to find out where mom
is at now with her understanding or information? Then we gently fill in the
gaps and try to suggest some things that may help her BF a little more, use
ABM a little less or delay it a little longer, or perhaps continue BFing
longer than before? Despite our best counseling efforts in the time we have
with mom, what we don't know about her life could fill several books.
No flames from me!!!
