Thanks for posting this link, Judy. I love this quote:

"If you think of puppies and kittens, you would never think of taking one
of the puppies away from its mother in the first few hours and washing it
off," Morton said. "But we've been doing that for years with humans."

(I just hope people read down far enough into the article to get to it --
past the weak, hedgy language of "breastfeeding *seems* to"!)
