It just occurred to me when I was reading the posts on hospitals that ask
their patients to bring in their  own formula and if they forget they then
are left with the option of breastfeeding.  I think it would be only fair
to then ask these moms to wash their own bottles, nipples, warm up the
formula and feed their babies at night too.  Then the breastfeeding moms
wouldn't look across the hall and see how fast it is for the bottlefeeding
mom to feed her baby,who gets the baby brought to her with a bottle of
ready made formula.  Just a little more of a reality enlightener about how
much work bottlefeeding really is and how much easier breastfeeding is.
