If breasfeeding works for you, have fun with it. But don't make new Mum's feel bad if they tried and it didn't work. More education is not the issue (don't you think it's in your face and suffocating enough??) but 'informed' midwife support and more lactation consultants are needed 24 X 7.
I agree with you on the point of not making formular feeding mums feel bad, I had alot of this when I stopped feeding both of my children but it was mainly from the SIL from hell LOL, I also agree that Breast feeding can be an in your face thing, but having said that I do think that this and education are very different, I think that yes when I had my DS I was not given the oppurtunity to even say 'hmm maybe I will just formular feed' I just had no choice or it felt that way for me anyway, but I also had no education, no one to sit with me and show me how to attach him properly no information, nothing at all, I think the aim of the advertising needs to be to make public more accepting of BF and not so shamed about it, I dont think it needs to be there to make formular feeders feel terrible about their decissions, as I dont feel thats fair either, I know how hard it was for me to make the choice to stop BF and with the added pressure I was made to feel like i had commited a crime against my baby and that felt truly awful.
