Oh amen. I agree. Like the whole, breastfeeding reduces x, y and z in babies. Uh, no, formula feeding increases the risk. That's not having a go, that's fact. How parents are supposed to make informed decisions when the information is being sugar coated to cater to those easily who are easily offended confuses me.

I agree on that internal dialogue, too. I think most people's first reaction is defence. I'll give an example.

I chose to delay solids a little for DD. I did a LOT of research about it and came to the conclusion that I agreed more with the delaying of solids than early introduction re allergies. Yesterday, DD had an allergic reaction to banana. Now, I am left questioning my decision, and maybe even entertaining the possibility that I chose wrong Sucks to even consider that but hey, I'm open to accepting facts over my own feelings of inadequacy or whatever.
