I think the last comment, from a lactnetter just yesterday, says it all.
Anyone who's watched moms at a LLL meeting, or tried to listen to a lecture
with a baby in tow, or tried to do any lengthy and concentrated focusing
while tending a baby, knows that it's very difficult to be totally attentive
to both a baby and a droning adult.

There are a few situations in which a woman's *undivided* attention is
required for *prolonged and inflexible* times, with no possibility of buying
the tape, or getting filled in on the details later, or borrowing someone
else's notes.  If I were on trial for my life, and I saw one of the jurors
looking down to latch her baby on or untangle his toes from her necklace
while I was making my case, I'd be terrified... and furious.
