I knew you would straighten them out.

Now you will all please shut up since none of you have actual
experience in
this process whereas I nursed 3 children. Bob's reasons are bunkum.
A
breast fed baby, when offered a bottle by his/her mother, will
generally
reject the bottle because the real thing is present. Water can be
offered
to a baby in a bottle by some other person and there will be some
success.
The nursery nurses usually attempt to get breast fed babies to take
water in
the hospital, especially if there's a chance of a high bili
count...Pumping
is not a pleasurable experince whereas breastfeeding is...pump[ing
can be
quite painful. Hand expressing is much better, even though the
yield is
less. I was fortunate that when i was having my children, a friend
in my
neighborhood was also having children and we both breastfed. If
there was
some reason one of us had to be away, we would take the other's
baby. No
need to pump. It's just as easy to nurse two as it is one. You
just have
to be careful to replenish enough calories in your system. $400
breast
pumps. What a joke. Mankind has existed for how long without
mechanical
devises to extract bodily fluids? He probably loves his Orick, too.
