Dear Friends:

I snipped a bit of Heather's post:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

".......a very bf-friendly paed who works in neonatal special care. 'We tell
them their baby really needs their breastmilk, and that anything
other than breastmilk is likely to make the baby sicker'.

'His' mothers almost always provide breastmilk for their babies (most
of them had intended to formula feed).

This is seen as 'putting pressure' on mothers by some of his
colleagues."
 =================================================================================================

Nikki again: Why does breastfeeding get the bad reputation.....we do put
pressure on mothers to quit smoking, to use car seats, to vaccinate, to do a
variety of things. That pressure is acceptable in the medical culture; yet
when we do the same thing about breastfeeding, it is perceived as
"pressure".

grrrr!

warmly,

--
