Dear Ruthy, I am not a New Testament "scholar" but read the Bible on a daily basis... << The elder (whose wife I was talking to today) said he'd show me passages that infants didn't just drink breastmilk, like it was scriptural to feed other things or unscriptural to "JUST Breastfeed" >> I would LOVE to see the references that infants didn't just drink breastmilk.... In our church, (evangelical, non-denominational) probably 95% of the moms initiate bf, but how long they keep it up is another issue. There is some closet Ezzoing going on, despite the attempts of Judy Smith (another LC) and myself to keep it out, and the church ABSOLUTELY will not sponsor that program.... So I can't speak for Christians in general, but I suspect that most of the evangelical churches are similar in approach.
