It is great to get publicity for corporate lactation programs.  I applaud the ones that
work well.  However, I wonder if their BF statistics would be better if they substituted
a book that actually had up-to-date BF info?  (See archives for discussion about this
book.)

And I had to wonder... is "lactating a baby" something we should study up on?
(Tongue in cheek)  That sounds soooo detached.  Mothers I deal with still
"breastfeed" when they return to work.

the baby. It's something people usually did at home."

I'd like to assume the writer just got carried away and misquoted that mother!
