I don't want to rant like I did on facebook about this, but as much as I am pro breast feeding, as others have already mentioned you can't do this.

It's nice to be passionate but there is a bigger picture to be looked at, promote, educate and assist is better.

some people have suggested that formula not be sold in supermarkets, this could be a real step in the right direction, I don't believe formula should be prescription only however if it was treated like an over the counter medication pharmacies could comit to having staff on hand with knowledge about lactation etc not to bully those who have already made a conscious and educated decision, but to support those who come in without all the information, or those who haven't been supported. Having someone who might be a calm voice of reason on a cold yucky sunday evening when you have been screamed at all day, you don't know what is wrong and you think that your not satisfying your bub and go to try formula. They don't have to be experts, but they can hold your hand and possibly offer an objective view, and help you make contact with the maternal and child health hotline, your local aba.

supermarkets do make it too easy, and sometimes we just need to get through one day to start the next one a fresh.

oh look i ranted
