<Good morning:
Please pardon my being a purist about terminology, but words we use and how
we think are deeply intertwined.  Actually, expressing and feeding the milk
by bottle isn't "breastfeeding" (despite what the advertising by the pump
industry has implied for years).  It is "breastmilk feeding".
"Breastfeeding" is so much more - and I'm sure the wise ones on Lactnet will
provide some ideas on what breastfeeding does, besides providing milk, when
they send you details of the articles you need.

I am reminded of what Dr. Buescher said about breastfeeding being a system
designed to be delievered nipple to mouth.  When you mess with the system
design, you have differing results.
