I may be wrong, but I think it is a good idea to promote that this is one 
thing (bf) that a teen can do for her baby that no one else can.  Teen moms 
rapidly get lost in the shuffle as everyone else snags their baby, 
grandmoms -who think they know better or can do better, friends who regard 
baby as a new toy, other grownups/experts (teachers, nurses, counselors) who 
just know they know what is best for this teen or this baby,  etc.
The idea that I grew this baby inside me and now I'm growing this baby 
outside me is very empowering.  Pat in SNJ
