    I think what you have said is valid Mikenzees mum. There are always going to be some people that choose it purely because they have that choice. I totally agree. It's something else to think about for sure. I think all the reasons put forth are valid on some level. And its great to see that we are working towards helping more mothers breastfeed should they choose to.

    OK, I think I see now (lightbulb!) - Mikenzees Mum, would you then vote for the availability of ABM?
