People that think she is robbing her own baby of milk don't really understand how the breast feeding mother's body works.

I think it was generous of her and kind.

All I ever got was a bottle. Breastfeeding was "dirty" when I was born - something only "those people" did. I never got my fair share.

"We're messed up," said Dr. Miriam Labbok, a physician, professor and director for the <A target="external" href="http://www.sph.unc.edu/breastfeeding">Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute</A>.
