It is with great pleasure that I see at last the Preservation of Children become the Care of men of Sense. In my opinion this business has been too long finally left to the management of women, who cannot be supposed to have a proper knowledge to fit them for the Task.

Haha. *shaking head* hahahaha!
It's from this article about the History of Breastfeeding - A very interesting read about the progression from breastfeeding to formula and back again as the recommended model. I think I may post more tidbits from it later.
I have breastfeeding on the brain pretty heavily today, partly because I picked up The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding at the library yesterday and the girls started leafing through it. They were a little grossed out, and thought it was weird when I explained to them. Then they brought it up again to Darrell last night. He's in support of breastfeeding but it's not something he's been around at all before so unfortunately it kind of grosses him out too ... and he thinks extended breastfeeding is weird. I'm not that worried about it right now as I think that once the baby is here thing will be fine, but it's kind of prompted me to do more reading and thinking. Thats's just what I do.
