Definately anything that can done to make breastfeeding the 'norm' would be awesome.

As long as women who "have" to FF are not made to feel guilty what is wrong with saying 'breast is best' etc also mothers who go back to work and simply dont have time to express shouldnt feel guilty either.


Too many people I think because of lack of education and lack of continuation of care THINK they HAVE to FF....

I liked Mckenzies threads saying that it is 21st century so we should just be able to have choice.... i am actually surprised at myself for not realising this earlier.... I feel pressure to continue breastfeeding because i have no troubles doing so and i am now a stay at home mum so basically 'what else am i doing'
my hubby likes me breastfeeding as it is 'best' for jemima with regards to her immune system etc

i say things to my friends who have been very quickly convinced they 'cant' breast feed like "who cares where it comes from as long as the baby is getting fed" but to be honest i dont believe that i just dont want them to feel bad

if my friends had had the right kind of support they may very well have had the confidence to keep 'trying' i feel they got too little too late

and yes everyone women has the right to just choose but the barriers that are apparent in society make it TOO EASY for mothers to choose FF over bfing
