Dear Kathy, In reading about the baby that wanted to wean at 3 mo, the thought struck me-- breastfeeding enhances intellectual development of the baby. Perhaps the mother received abm and so is having trouble intellectualizing her baby's needs. (This is supposed to be a little joke). This is sort of off the subject, but lately when I have been talking to prenatal patients regarding breastfeeding, I slip in a comment that the formula I received as a baby is now considered UNFIT to give infants. I ask them to imagine how I feel, knowing that! Then I tell them--I feel experimented on!!! It's food for thought for them. (also tells my age....)
