Thank you Pamela Morrison! I am often frustrated by the attitude  that it is 
all about the mother.  The mother's birth, the mother's  choice for feeding, 
the mother's right to choose what is best for her.  In  all things birth and 
breastfeeding the baby is there too!  Yes, it is a  woman giving birth, but it 
is the baby's birthing!  It is the mother who  makes choices about what to 
feed, when to feed, how to feed, but it is the baby  living with those choices.
 
Thank you for reminding us of the very important reality that the choices  of 
the mother are about the baby and it is the baby who ultimately pays the  
price of those choices.
 
Take care,
Pam MazzellaDiBosco, IBCLC
