Mary,
I'm very sorry if I offended you or anyone else with my judgemental  
statement about self-centeredness and selfishness.  Of course, I know  
there are many, many factors involved with deciding to bottlefeed.  I  
was referring to the ones who really are informed of the benefits and  
just think bottle feeding will be easier.  My work with teenagers has  
probably influenced my thoughts on this.  And I do realize that how  
you feed your child does not determine whether you are a good mother  
or bad mother. Like I said, just because you breastfeed does not mean  
you will be a good mother.  Good mothers are bad sometimes and bad  
mothers are good sometimes.  And mothers like me who say things they  
regret late at night on Lactnet are sometimes bad.  Sorry.

Pam Wiggins, IBCLC
