Unfortunately in third world countries, the mothers often CANNOT lactate for
the POOR diet that they suffer from. So, even when nursing, they are
starving their babies.

As I said in a private post to Kim, I feel great that I will be even
expressing milk for the next baby! That is a big YES! My dh will be able to
relish in those precious bonding moments where he can feed baby too.

I feel that since this is a hot topic, that I will go back into a lurk
mode. It is every person's choice to breast/bottle feed, and I think that
since I would have died if I continued nursing 2 times (I was hemorrhaging
to death), I have a right to NOT nurse in that fear alone. I know that
BREAST MILK is very important for a baby, but since my dd was so ill and
ended up on Nutramigen, I question if I would have been able to nurse her at
all. The ex kept it from being an option, but I do wonder...

Thank you all for you opinions, for they do show how determined you all are
about your feelings. This is truly a good example of how we are all
unschoolers, we are all different.
