I don't understand the objection to bottle-feeding EBM so long as it's only done occasionally to avoid training the baby to nipple-suck, and only done after 6-8 weeks to make sure mother and baby are both well established with BFing. I can see where a lot of pumping between nursings might increase mom's milk production too much if she were doing something else with the milk, but if it's all going to baby, won't supply-and-demand still work? When I was the dad of a nursling, I was very jealous of feeding our son. I would happily have taken over the nighttime feeding if my wife had been able to pump. I'd really appreciate it if someone will enlighten me. Feel free to just e-mail me if you think this won't interest most lactnetters. Much thanks. Jonathan
