The guilt question again:
Here's why IMHO we need to be careful and aware of guilt in non-bf or
would-be bf mothers:
breastfeeding is the most positive health choice a mother can make for her
child - but is also a personal, intimate relationship between two human
beings. At least one of them has psychological and emotional baggage we can
never be fully aware of, and both of them face a world and their own corner
of it which we can never fully share.
Making someone feel guilty (or adding to their guilt) may lead to
resentment and anger.
It's a challenge to present facts and information in a way that doesn't
create or add to guilt, but I reckon it's worth doing.
