Today I saw a newborn in the nursery whose mom has chosen to bottle feed.
The nurse was trying to give him his first bottle and he kept opening his
mouth wide and looking around for the breast. She remarked that he would be
a wonderful nursing baby, and that she couldn't get him to take the bottle.
I jokingly said to her, "Go out and tell the mother, sorry maam your baby
has failed at bottlefeeding, you must breastfeed!" Couldn't talk her into
doing it though.............
