Good points you bring up Trill...
My experience is the other side of the fence. As a woman committed to feeding at the breast I was told I was doing damange for continuing even though it was quite awful for a while. My experience was there was little honouring of breast feeding - & what was easier was the way to go. With a couple of my kids. And then with Imogen. It was incredible how many people asked me why I bothered with around the clock expressing when I was so ill... It seemed irrelevant how anti ff the NICU was - by a number of "well meaning" folk I was a bit loopy... I needed to "be practical"... I too was on medication for pain and depression/anxiety. It was a real juggle. So I can truly empathise Tan from a personal perspective.
Support is lovingly being held - it isn't agreeing with a decision (as you said Trill in different words). I support people all the time who I don't necessarily agree are making fabbo decisions. There is a difference...
