Just have to share  :-)  My oldest son is now 10, and a couple of years
ago we were out somewhere (sorry--can't remember where!) and saw a baby
having a bottle.  We agreed it was too bad, and I said something about
it not being as healthy as bf.  He looked very confused, and it came out
that he, all that time (his whole life until that moment), had assumed
bottles contained expressed breastmilk!!  (I worked p/t after his little
brother was born, and left him & dad with ebm.)  My 9 yr old nephew has
actually tried to lift my shirt for me if I seem to be taking too long,
LOL.  "hurry up! can't you see he needs to nurse?"

Hopefully these boys will remember....
