Ann Althouse wades into somewhat controversial waters with a post about working mothers pumping breastmilk. You can go ahead and read the post here, but it is the comment by "geoduck" that most amused me:
My mother, born in the early 40s, was my grandmother’s first child. (Her mother, my great-grandmother passed away in the 1930s, so she was not able to give her daughter advice.)
Anyways, breast-feeding at that time was not promoted. Bottle feeding was seen as more healthy.
Grandmother got confused and thought, for some reason, CREAM was what she was too feed my mother.
At her first doctor’s appointment — the doctor saw a very, very plump little baby. (We have pictures.)
Poor baby! But perhaps real cream is better than that old standby, canned Carnation evaporated milk and Karo syrup.
