I apologize for the argumentative tone of my post regarding the above subject. Akthough I was responding to Frantz's own words and not hearsay, and did include her quotes in my post, I may have been too hasty in my judgement of said words. I am sure she is a respected and respectable woman --and she has devoted time and energy to promoting breastfeeding instead of time shares or microwaves, after all-- who was not wholly deserving of my ire. My passionate feelings were, of course, more inspired by what I see around me every day, such as: parents not touching babies; using pacifiers to keep baby from "using mom as a pacifier"; and the use of the word colic, in this area at least, to describe the normal cries of a baby to be nurtured in-arms, than by Frantz's specific words. I know many of you have the same concerns, perhaps Frantz herself does. I do hope I have assuaged any hurt feelings or offended sensibilities. Joy
