10 things breastfeeding advocates should stop saying

Cool, I love it! I love that the article doesn't sound defensive or argumentative...it's just laying it out there, it's saying yes, we *know* x/y/z, shoving it down our throats isn't helpful! Really, really like it!

Exactly what I thought PZ!! I can't believe you're so close to meeting your baby girl! Woohoo!!

Great article, I have heard many if not most of these said to or about others. I also don't subscribe to the owning your feelings theory - if one possibly hormonal, likely exhausted woman gets told things like this often enough, even the strongest woman will lose it!

I felt guilty for way too long after, due to a number of reasons, being unable to BF DD. I wish I had seen this during that period of feeling like a failure, it's freaking awesome. As for the FF mums being lazy bit... FF is a huge PITA because you can't just whip your boob out and it's there. How many times I had to get up at 3am to make a bottle for DD and was being ****ed off at not being able to just whip my boob out and feed her, sucky.

Couldn't agree more.
