Mary Ann, 1972 was my year too. I had a friend who encouraged me and gave me their book. Can you believe we have daughters in their 50’s!!! My doctor gave me a booklet too. He was all for it. Lovely time for me and baby. My kid was an Adele Davis girl too.

Janet, My baby daughter now has two children above the age of 18, so no, I can't believe it! My doctor was playing golf the Sunday my daughter was born and the head nurse in O.B. disapproved of nursing, so when I was sprung after 8 days (it was Caesarian), a friend told me about La Leche and I quickly got involved. And my baby was an Adele Davis baby too! In fact, both kids were. [My son was born in an army hospital, delivered by a flight surgeon, and also had anti-breast feeding nurses!] You have to be one tough cookie to resist the medical establishment when they're all arrayed against you.
Boggles the mind that medical professionals would advocate against the means all mammals use to feed newborns. How, oh how did humans survive for so long with only breast milk - sometimes interspecies depending on situation but for the most part human - to feed their young? More Rockefeller medicine, a fast-paced, quiet and subtle intrusion into and subversion of eons of human existence, seen now in the light as an attempt to cull the population of deplorables. Pure unadulterated greed across the board.
Apparently breast feeding interferes with hospital routines and schedules. It's another sign that the medical establishment is not about patients, it's about the medical system and what works best for it.

Yep, with greed at its root. How dare anyone think for themself and ask questions?
