Did you ever have one of those days when every "breastfeeding" mom you
talked to said she was going to "try" breastfeeding?  After one of those
days I was sharing my miseries with a similiar minded co-worker and she told
me that when a mom tell her that she replies that she never had a mom tell
her she was going to "try" to bottlefeed her baby, and then goes on with
educating the mom on breastfeeding.  I don't know if she has scored many
converts with this tactic but boy thats sure how I feel somedays.  Can you
imagine what would happen if all the moms who "tried to breastfeed but
couldn't do it because...." all used the same approach when it came to
bottlefeeding their babies? We would certainly have a situation on our hands
that people would have to do something about, now wouldn't we?  When I teach
classes I try to educate moms about when breastfeeding was basically your
only choice and you had the support from your mom, sister, aunt, cousin,
midwife, the ladies at church, grandma,etc., etc.,and  they all did it and
you could too and they were there to help you and you grew up watching them
all do it. Anyway thats my two cents for the day, its nice to have comrades
that I can vent too
