I never cease to be amazed how certain so many people can be that
something cannot be done.  Why would they imagine the child would not
tolerate breastmilk?  Why is some sort of industrial concoction better?
Is breastmilk so terrible that a few days or weeks try of breastmilk
feeding is contraindicated?  As one of the strongest breastfeeding
advocates I know, even I would never say this child will thrive on
breastmilk or even tolerate it, but surely it is worth a try??
