Darn! I should *NOT* have been reading that drivel while I was eating my breakfast; now I have indigestion!! I must admit, I try to avoid these issues as much as a I can. I don't know how other LC's and lactation professionals do it, but I myself find it difficult to be on top of advocacy and lobbying at the same time as working with mothers. The former just takes so much of my time and energy and keeps me awake at night! Though I think that there is tremendous value in committees, campaigns, and media, I also think that the real issue is simply to empower women to breastfeed. If we do that, THEY will know this stuff is drivel, too. Thoughts?
