i am a WIC certifier and see oh so many sad looking babies strapped into strolers or car seats with a bottle propped up or mom inattentivly holding the bottle in the baby's mouth. i feel very sad for these babies. they feel sad too. the saddest thing i see is mom's willfully ignoring early hunger cues, both BF and bottle feeders - even with gentle discussion of cues, offering our excellent breastfeeding room, or my office, or "you can make a bottle right here" all too often i hear "oh she can wait- i only live 10 minutes away" or "she just needs a pacifier" ahhhhh back to topic. i have recently seen pictures of sad looking babes with streesed out looking moms shuving bottles in mouths, i believe from j. newman. i will look harder lindsay myers *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
