What I talked about originally was meeting the mother where she is and
supporting her decisions: whatever they are.>>>
Some passionate Bf advocates, like many LCs, may be more likely to "meet the
mother where she is" and then instead of promptly and actively supporting a
formula feeding decision, the LC may use experience and intuition to figure
out the most effective ways to build a rapport with the mother, regardless of
her "caliber", to then utilize that rapport to support additional mothering
activities, while finding opportune moments to, appropriate to the mother's
physical and emotional state, educate the mother about lactation and encourage
breastfeeding and/or providing breastmilk.
No matter the social-economic status of new moms, it is amazing what a
little rapport building, education, and ongoing support can accomplish in regards
to breastfeeding.
Why does that happen with particular threads? Why the tangents?>>>>
maybe because we all have our own opinions.
