A friend of mine in her mid 40s from Be’er Sheva said that when she was a child “only the rich” bought formula. Judging from the rest of our conversation, and what I’ve heard from women whose children are now 30-40 years old, most families started their babies on cows’ milk at a very young age, on the advice of doctors.

When my elder daughters were born 40 years give/take ago it was almost impossible for new mothers to get anything but water to supplement their own milk. And then, at least at Shaare Tzedek, we didn’t get to see our babies for 24 hours, and there was no rooming in. Babies were brought every 3 or 4 hours depending on there weight. I think there was also less jaundice, which was why babies weren’t supposed to eat all that much the first couple of days.

Miraculously, pre-La Lache, I became a successful nursing mother, B”H!
