Helen, you are absolutely right! I do hope you did not think that I intended
to denigrate the term *Baby-Friendly* in any way. I used it as a kind of
shorthand to express a set of values. I am quite aware of the specific usage
of the term, and meant it only in a complimentary way. I will certainly be
more careful in the future.
