Dear Lactation Professionals,
Have you seen this? Wooopie Goldberg announces on The View that people who encourage women to breastfeed are "boneheads" and slams Mayor Bloomberg for backing The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative. It is heart-breaking and enraging.
Here is a link to the clip

I cringe thinking of all of the women who watched this episode and heard the negative attack on breastfeeding and the baby friendly hospital initiative.
grrrr,
Rosalie Krauss, RN, IBCLC
