I get the impression on this forum though that this approach isn't liked and telling a FF mum she could have BF is wrong... and this thread says so too. So, is this just a personal thing and I've been lucky that my RL friends have been more open to the discussion or do you think I'm really just annoying everyone and I didn't realise?
I always find it interesting how many people breastfeed subsequent bubs once they've found the right support network and resources. This in itself shows that many (yes, not ALL) could well have breastfed given the right circumstances and support. So I think said in the right way, it'd be taken in the right way. I think it would be very sad to tip toe around someone who ended up FFing their first and not encouraging them to try different things or seeking out different help next time for fear of saying the 'wrong' thing :/

I think it goes both ways that we all need to watch what we say and how we say it. I much prefer the 2nd article of what TO say, and fwiw I thought posting the original article in the ff section was a bit strange, considering it really is aimed at breastfeeders? Pretty sure it's not written in a 'stick it to BF'ers' way to support FF'ers. It's a reminder to watch what we say when we're trying to encourage breastfeeding, or making suggestions of things to try to keep breastfeeding on track.
