If a mom wants to give her baby the best nutrition, but she doesn't care to breastfeed, why not encourage her. I will admit to these moms it's a lot more work to pump and feed. But bottle-fed babies can be nurtured *just as well* as breastfed babies. It just depends upon the person who is doing the nurturing. There is no way in the world my son could know any more love, closeness, or security than he does now. Of course that's his mother's opinion, but I hear that from all of his teachers, too. So, IMHO, Linda, I agree wholeheartedly!
