So, yay! :) ) One other thing I might include is a nursing pillow, but I only use it for about the first month or so, so that I can sit at the computer with baby nursing hands-free!<BR><BR>Oh, and according to the WHO, formula is actually a distant FOURTH option to mama's milk:<BR><BR>1) Mama's milk, direct from the breast<BR>2) Mama's expressed milk<BR>3) Some other mama's milk (i.e. banked milk)<BR>4) Canned, overprocessed, BPA- and phthalate-ridden, synthetic goodness, er, I mean formula<BR><BR>But I would list cross-nursing/wet-nursing as 3b maybe. Or 3a, depending.<BR><BR>And you wouldn't think it's #4 from the store shelves and promotions in their flyers, would you?<BR><BR>Hmmm... hot topic for me?Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-803467012583567535.post-44189626587889160062009-02-23T21:20:00.000-05:002009-02-23T21:20:00.000-05:00Well...

A friend/wet nurse would be 3a as far as I'm concerned, I'm a little creeped out by the idea of getting milk from a milk bank and having no clue who's it was (is that a lil creepy or is it just me?)<BR><BR>And as for "So That's What They're For", I originally intended to make a comment about my being jealous that my bestest friend has gifted it to every expecting mom BUT ME!!! But then I didn't want you to feel like ya had to buy it for me, hee hee. *wink wink* nah I'm just kidding, really. Or maybe not.
