I hear your point, Cathy, and I also would point out that guilt is something
we feel when our actions do not agree with our own priorities.  Guilt comes
from our own resulting internal  discord, and cannot be put upon us by others.


Just my opinion...

"Besides, on a purely practical note, how many women who "try" breastfeeding
because they are bullied into it by someone who makes them feel guilty will
actually persist past the first tweak of discomfort (emotional, cultural, or
physical) or "inconvenience"? My experience has been that "you catch more
flies with honey than with vinegar"."
