Anna - this is truly amazing stuff.  It goes far further than
Babywise.  I hope no one will complain you are in breach of
copyright....to me this stuff we really need to know. The Ezzos have
no foothold in the UK yet, but I know they will keep trying (unless,
of course, we are too depraved for them).

I note the sneaky misuse of the stats. We are told 5 per cent of
mothers 'during peace time' will not produce enough milk (this figure
is hugely questionable, but let it go for the moment)...and 'upwards
to 10 per cent during war time'. War time is not defined - does it
include any time when war is being waged anywhere on the planet????
Looks like it, because  three paras later this 10 per cent figure is
presented as the norm.

And what a cruel philosophy, to say the mother who truly longs to bf
is 'coerced', and to ask her to examine 'the why behind the
desire'.....is this implying Satanic influence? It would seem so.

They are condeming the desire to breastfeed, and think it is
unhealthy in the spiritual sense...I know theological debate is out
of place on Lactnet, and rightly so, but this has shocked me. I
really did not think they were quite as outrageous in their anti-bf
stance as this.
