I totally agree (as a fellow Brit) but would like to add, as if anyone
here needed a reminded, that ABM is not risk-free. That baby's gut flora
will be changed for weeks after that bottle, and psychologically, I
wonder if the mother, having "given in" this once to using ABM to get
herself out of a hole may be tempted to use it again, and again. I fear
early weaning.
Breastfeeding and altars or ignorance come to mind.
