I think the two messages that women find comfort in hearing are:
(1) breastfeeding is not extraordinary. It's the biological norm, and the ability
belongs to each and every women with normally-functioning breasts.
And
(2) because it's the norm, when things go wrong, women should seek help. Nobody who
woke up tomorrow gasping for air would dismiss it with a phrase like, "Oh, well. I
guess I wasn't lucky enough to breathe right! I'll just get a tank of oxygen. It's
almost like breathing unassisted." Of course, such a person would want to know why! We
should feel the same when a normal function like producing milk isn't working right.
I say: If you own a Mecerdes and it won't start, have your mechanic look it over before
you trade it in on a Yugo!!!
