information is power

but despite the internet, increased education for women (i'm talking historically here), it is STILL very hard to find out accurate, current UNBIASED information. You ask ten sources, you get ten different answers. Everyone has their own bias.

i keep thinking of the phrase "the personal is political".
SO many decisions we make, including how to birth and parent, become controversial, if we are not doing what the majority of the population, seem to be doing.

i assumed medical and child nurse people would know stacks about breastfeeding, and that was my initial point, when seeking help. Eventually i realised, that was the last place, i was going to get info re breastfeeding. Sad isn't it? I had medical people telling me i was doing the wrong thing for my child, by bf-ing a 19month old. That i should have weaned her at three months old! Why? because that's what their hospital (sleep school) protocols said. SO much misinformation out there.
