Pardon me, but does any one else find this to be ludicrous?!  If someone is
willing to admit that something as simple as "smelling" the colostrum will
produce a "readiness" to go to breast, why can't they leave the baby at the
source to smell to his little heart's content?  Maybe, while he's there, he
could even lick, taste, or engage in otherwise radical behaviors to produce
readiness?!

Considering that Prozak more strongly by the minute.......Nancy
