Laurie's excerpts/ writes:

"Perhaps  most important for us  is to realize that human milk is not 
simply 
a food but  rather a  complex, human infant support system."

This is excellent wording -  nice to see it in print here. Helping families 
 
understand this is one  way we support moms in the face of the "well he 
needs  food and formula  is food" opinions... I seem to remember Miriam 
Labbok 
saying  that the  nutritional aspect of breastfeeding is nearly the least 
important in   the long scheme of things. (Miriam? )
Thanks for  sharing.

Peace,
Judy
