Yesterday I saw a happy healthy breastfeding baby and mom.
Mom told me how grandmom is always on her about the baby's weight gain as
in: "your feeding that baby too much, you have to space her out, she's
getting too fat, you can't keep picking her up every time she cries or wants
to nurse, your going to spoil her...".
Even "the first time a boy friend breaks up with her she is going to eat a
whole container of Haagen Daz "(sp) and  "The pediatrician is going to yell
at you"
Needless to say the pediatrician was quite complimentary and mom knew I
would be.
Since mom told me she was starting to feel guilty for holding and feeding
the baby so much we had a long talk which led to the work/writing of the
good Dr Kathy D.
I Emailed mom Kathy's web page but warned her ahead of time, "If grand mom
reads this she might have a heart attack or a stroke."
