Yep DD, now 7, nursed until three and still remembers it -- and misses it! She says mama's milk was the best because it is so sweet and yummy. When talking about having other children, she immediately stated that she'd steal all...

Mike, My initial reaction to your website and what it had to say was that this needs to be a movement that sweeps across the nation! So, um, yea. Count me in. I will PM you with my contact info. I am an environmental...
