I am quoted (or rather misquoted) in this article.
The numbers of breastfeeding counsellors I cite is incorrect, and in
my quote about mothers being told to 'persevere' the journalist has
chosen to leave the impression that I think we have a problem with
fanaticism (which I don't) and to omit my views that suggestions of
'perevering' being usless without skilled help to fix the
breastfeeding. Someone who didn't know me might think I believe
mothers with bf problems should be told to stop.
I have spoken to the journalist concerned about this (the paper also
had website details incorrect, and she also quotes a mother who said
she had to pay for LLL support.....which cannot be true).
I do however agree that encouragement to breastfeed is never enough -
the skills and knowledge are needed as well (I know we all think that
here!!)
