Hi all, Just got this one from my mom! The things you find out after knowing a person for 43 years! When my mother was a baby her mother fed her cows milk directly from the cow! It was put into a coke bottle, a nipple was tied on to it and my mom got it to drink - nice and warm and fresh!!!! aaaauugghhh! They lived on a farm just north of Montreal, Canada and it was very isolated. My mom was know as a fussy baby. Any wonder why? Apparently small breasts run in my family and it was said that none of them could produce milk. My mother was told that when she had me but it sounds like her milk did come in because she had what sounds like engorgement a few days after delivery. Anyway, my mom has become educated about breastfeeding and is an advocate now and just glad she lived through her first year of life! Diane Karnbach, LLL Leader Va Beach, VA
