my mom could not Brest feed my older brother,
Do to dehydration, so she used goats milk ( no access to cow's milk, and he did great, she Brest fed me for 10 mounts, just after him, when she had recouped and got well,
there are other alternative, in most cases.
YES she was a war bride WWII from England,
moved to California, was not acclimated too the climate ( at the time you had to take salt tablets to retain water on the dessert ) LA river was not built yet.
Water was were ever you could find it.
This is being proud of your country, loyalty, to your family and friends.
And nation.
This is what we in the U.S.A. HAVE LOST,
I feel ashamed, as we all should.
