I'm way behind as usual, but I'd like to respond to Margery Wilson's post(1/9/96) which was a response to another post about someone wanting to just pump for twins and never put them to breast. Margery I agree so much with you. Pumps are such a mixed blessing. I am seeing a phenomenon among clients who were having difficulty getting the baby to go to breast initially, so they are pumping to keep a supply and to feed baby while trying to solve the problem. Then when we do solve the problem, they are so used to bottle feeding, they continue even though the baby is willing to breastfeed. I always am supportive of the mother's decision and am happy that baby continues to receive ebm, but baffled by the choice. Once again I'm sure it is our bottle feeding culture that makes a mother find it more "convenient" to bottle feed. How sad. I'm beginning to wonder how many of the bottles I see in public are actually filled with Human Milk. Marilee Woodworth, IBCLC, LLLL, Ann Arbor, Michigan
