I use BM for stool and bm for breastmilk.  As several have said, bm just
doesn't sound good.  I like the idea of using HM, human milk.  As for
formula, how about another mix and match of words: artificial infant
milk (AIM). "Artificial" means not real, generally considered not as
good; "substitute" is usually intended to be of equal quality.  "Infant"
is better than "baby" b/c baby is too cuddly. I like "nourishment"
better than milk, but I think that makes it too long.  It's not so
negative sounding (ei.SIN) that it should offend.

I found some info about the internet bf course in Lactnews.  You can
e-mail directly from there for more info. (I'm still learning internet,
so e-mailing directly was neat.)

We are fortunate to have a LLL monthly meeting that invites fathers
which is only 10 minutes from the location of our regular meeting.  But
we still, usually around Father's Day, have a special regular meeting to
which fathers are invited.
