No one is asking anyone to support or not support bf....just to support the
woman's right to access the info she wishes, to access informed people
who will help her interpret what she hears/reads, and then to support her
right to choose, given that all of the literature and research is still
open to interpretation, to doubt and to far, far more development.
If the mother then asks, 'what would *you* do?', then it could be answered
truthfully.
