Oh no, I did see "Law and Order" and it was not pretty. The portrayal of the
"lactation counselor" on the witness stand was beastly. She appeared
extremely militant, on the verge of hysteria. Having "manipulated" and
"coerced" the defendant (an immature teenager) into not offering the baby the
(ever present savior), bottle of formula she was then admonished on the
witness stand by the attorney who went on to comment on "the horrible
societal pressures put on women, these days, to breast feed!"
Needless to say, it was about 1am before I fell asleep!
