dear Carrie,

there are always going to be mothers who won't Bf and you may or may not know
why (it is pretty clear in this case, at least). one tried but true LLLism is
that whatever amount the mother breastfeeds is Good and we support her (one
feeding is good, one day is good, one week is good, etc.). what you say may
not influence how she feeds this baby, but it may influence how she feeds the
next. you will know you've come full circle when you not only give someone
"permission" to bottle-feed, but even beg them to, for the sake of the Baby.
