I actually think what Dr. Greene has to say is really good. He sounds
very positive about bf to me, and I think it's nice to have someone "out
there" in the public who promotes bf in his own way. No matter how you
slice it, it's true that not all women will bf or continue to bf as long
as we like. I think that once they have made an INFORMED decision not to
bf or to stop bf, they OFTEN already KNOW that breast is best.  I think
these moms often need support from us for whatever feeding decision they
have made. I firmly believe that all moms truly want what is best for
their babies. Moms need us for all kinds of emotional support.
