Sorry, but I think she is right. We get "p...off" about actions like this
from other orientations. The caregiver can not nurse the baby, and the 3
month old that is exclusively breastfed might not take a bottle. You know
this a lot better than me. I think promoting breastfeeding on one hand and
not making allowances for a breastfeeding fellow professional does
demonstrate double standard. What can be expected of other organisations if
our own recommends a stranger and a bottle.
