I was so proud when Chana told me that she had spoken up in class to
challenge the teacher's views! She pointed out that the video interview only
gave somebody's opinion, asked why the mother hadn't seen a lactation
consultant if she was concerned about how the breastfeeding was going, or
taken her child to the doctor sooner. She also explained how bf was a
learned behaviour, and how her mother - me! - taught women what they needed
to know. Then, she volunteered me to come in and talk to the class (about 20
girls and 6 boys, 15-18yrs old)! WOW!

Good for Chana!!  When my 14 year old son was as in a "family life" class,
the teacher touched on breastfeeding and said it was "gross and unnatural"
when some mothers nursed over a year.  Poor John just sat there, humiliated,
and thought how he had only himself been weaned since preschool. :)  He got
over it.  When I asked him if he wanted me to come speak to the class, he
said NNOOOOOOOO WWWAAAAYYYYYYY!!! Boys are different from girls.
