Science will never be able to identify, and commerce will never come close to replicating, all the benefits a mother gives her child while breast feeding. Nothing gives your baby a better start. For women or babies who have difficulty, please contact your local La Leche League, or a lactation consultant, to get individual assistance. They are well-trained (I know – I was one, years ago) to help in all sorts of circumstances.
