[blparent] Breast-feeding help, it must be passed down

[January Lifebook]

A lactation consultant told me that some babies will self-wean early when
they have bottloes because milk comes out of the bottle with less effort.
She suggested offering the breast first every single time and only offering
the bottle if the baby is determined not to nurse.  A great website for all
nursing moms is http://kellymom.com/
Good luck :-)
