Now.....Granting that some mothers have no choice and must bottle-feed their babies........................ I agree....our culture is sick.....follow the $$$'s.... no one can make money selling formula to women who breast-feed their babies......they don't need baby-bottles either....so let's make breast-feeding repulsive and push bottle-feeding and make more money! As far as sleeping with your babies.... I fail to see what's wrong with that......all over the world mothers sleep with their nursing babies.... saves having to get up and go get the baby at 3 AM.....The only reason I can imagine that anyone would call this child abuse is that the parents might make love in the night and the child might witness this....or see a naked parental body....... And what's wrong with that? Why does our culture scream about children possibly seeing love-making or naked parents......but it's OK for our children to witness all sorts of bloody mayhem on TV and in movies......I caught flack for taking my kids to see "Blue Lagoon" and the same people who thought that was wrong took their kids to see the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"......who's perverted here?
