(heehee) So now I guess I have to check out the book, huh? I never thought about breastfeeding in a Biblical sense (guess I'm not obsessed as St. Augustine, anyway...apparently that guy was REALLY interested in...well, you know) I just breastfeed my kids and it works. Hmmm, I don't think I'm going to do a major study of it all, but at least I could maybe find out why the art of breastfeeding is so FASCINATING to some people. It's always interesting to see what trips people's triggers. Thank you for the clarification!!!

I look forward to reading it. I'm glad to see more theologians and Church historians addressing breastfeeding, especially as it relates to the Theology of the Body! Thanks for your work!
