I don't see how Astrid or FionaJill took the earlier posts to be from people taking offence at pro breastfeeding information. Myself, Ryn, Sherie, and Cailin point out that just printing 'statistics' and mentioning 'studies' is not gospel and as everyone knows there are "lies, damn lies and statistics". I for one want to see hard science, not emotional writing. BW and B456 actually express that it is mothers who FF are in some way made to feel quite inferior, yet there may be valid reasons why BF is not possible (and lets face it, who in today's western society has a wet nurse or BF sister on hand to BF these babies?)![]()
B456 makes an excellent point: if I were to pick a greater evil, it's the psychological damage done by poor parenting rather than anything from FF. No one is trying to make BF mothers feel like they ought to hide their tickers - it is FF mothers who are under fire here.
