Don't be so sure about future bottles :-(  The one I nursed for 2 1/2 years
and who grew up surrounded by LLL moms and his older sisters nursing their
babies didn't have any say when his 2 were born :-(  DIL did not intend to
nurse, period.  Now another son convinced his wife she couldn't even get pg
if she didn't promise to nuse for at least 6 mo :-)  When first baby was 6
mo he said "Mom the baby won't quit [bf]".  I said "smart baby!"  This DIL
has nursed 4 for about 18 mo each :-)  So don't count your chickens before
they are hatched :-)  Keep an open mind.

The bottle fed grandchildren are beautiful, just probably could have been a
tad smarter if she BF, but seem smart enough at this point (almost 5 and
almost 2).  Of course the first one had endless ear aches and the second
had asthma before one year, but I'm sure I couldn't even convince DIL this
was from not BF and I just don't discuss it with her.  Being a MIL you
learn when to bite your tongue (either the hard way or the easy way:-)
Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
