Absolutely, Karleen....it's also about the idea that mothers who do
one thing are inevitably smug and feel themselves morally superior to
mothers who do something else.
As I have said....I don't see this happening as a regular thing
myself, and I see the constant accusations that mothers do this as
yet another women-belittling 'put down' .
Michele, your colleague may need some training and some practice in
supporting breastfeeding in a way that is not judgmental, but she
won't get any lessons from the video.
In fact, I would say video is not the way to address professional
concerns like this - I reckon your colleague would be justified in
feeling very undermined and disempowered if she was at the centre of
a 'video clip war' :( :( It's not a fair, or effective, way of
improving her work.
Hope you find a solution.
