Bottles

I don't see how offering your baby superior food is primative.
Also, families chose to breast feed for many reasons. I breast fed both of my children and we did not have bottles in the house. Why would we? Besides being healthy, breastfeeding is convenient. If i didn't have to wash bottles, store breast milk, transport (and keep cool) the milk, and then find some way to warm it, why would I. The breast is ready, at the right temperature, in the right amount, with no waste or clean-up.
I can't believe someone would find breastfeeding "primative". Maybe the actual making of babies is primative and we should stick to test tubes :-)

Bottles again
Again, she said it was primative to breastfeed a baby out of the house. I disagree. I don't see anything "primative" about feeding a baby no matter where or how I do it. God gave me breasts that make milk so I can feed my babies. Bottles are not necessary, and as I said, I would not go to the trouble to lug bottles around, use a pump, etc, just because someone has a hangup.
Life summarised in 4 bottles.
