Nope, I disagree with you. If women only needed to "satisfy the needs"
of their children, they could use a bottle. However, breast milk is indeed
the *best* food for an infant. It contains exactly what a baby needs,
including much-needed antibodies from the mother which protect the
child from infection.

Breast milk does more than simply *satisfy* a need, it is the best option
a mother has.
