Barbara, and all,
This is almost verbatim "my speech" which I gleaned from Lactnet over the
years I thought.  Maybe I have seen your response in print before.  I have
also used Barbara Wilson-Clay's dog ownership analogy for some BABYWISE
parents recently.  The light over their heads was visible.  They were afraid
of being "held hostage"  by the baby.  I also have started picking up the
water pitcher, and asking how long since you had a drink?  Then I suggest
how frustrated they would be if I took the pitcher with me, and returned at
an arbitrary time.  That seems to have sunk in well also.
Recovering from the bruised forehead in Texas,
