Trish,
Don't you dare think that! I'm just tickled pink by the wonders of Bobby and
you are a real success story. I firmly believe that the act of breastfeeding
can be incredibly healing for emotionally hurt children but though it can be
significant there are many other things that are more central to healing and
work together for the same end. What is there to be sad about?
And then you never know what might happen.....one day Bobby might decide
that breastfeeding is something he wants to do regularly.
