This is absolutely disGUSTING. Now how much harder it is to bottlefeed
safely, an unnatural act with many more potential hazards in terms of
preparing,  mixing, cleaning feeding devices, etc, that would be UNNECESSARY if this
mom and baby were in a breastfeeding relationship.  I am not a  litigious
person by nature, but I would sue someone/some agency for all the  financial
and emotional support needed to try to relactate for this mom and  babe.

Peace,
