Hi All,
Just wanted to make a comment here on this topic that we have talked about
so often.  Susan wrote out an exerpt of a text that said:

"...  When infants are bottle fed, the others in the family can also share
in the pleasurable experiences of feeding the baby."  "

My comment to this is:  WHere are these people when the infant, who is 9 mo
old and smearing food in their hair, needs cleaning? Where are they for
cleanup help when the kid is 2 yrs and throwing food on the floor?  I'd just
as soon have them save all their "joy of baby feeding" to later when I
really need help feeding the baby!

high-chair tray and splash his hands in it.
