I think making the comment that FF results in a higher rate of leukaemia in children is pretty much guaranteed to make FF mums feel pretty bad Kelly!
I don't have a problem with it but hey, I'm one of "those" mums. I have a coffee machine - not because I'm lazy (frankly, it takes a lot more effort to make it, clean the machine etc than it does to boil the kettle) but because the coffee tastes better. I had a $1,000 pram because in my opinion it was easier to use and more comfortable for my child.
I don't understand why there can be any number of things out there in the form of counselling, introducing legislation, pillows, clothing blah blah blah to make breastfeeding easier, and all those things are applauded, but when something is marketed (whether a gimmick or not) that may make FF easier for those of us that FF it gets jumped on. We are educated women, and we all accept that breastfeeding is best. Some of us just can't do it.
