You couldn't/can't pump out the milk and feed it to the child in a bottle? At least for a while until he could get the hang of latching on? Just curious.
Barefoot gives his advice, his style, and it is always back to nature. It's nothing personal to you, that's just how it is in this forum. If you browse through old posts you would realize that it is always the same advice, which is "Go Natural."
You might want to post your question in one of the childhood forums like "Baby Nutrition". There are some experienced mothers there who might have more of the feedback you are looking for, they are really nice.
