Hi all, I wanted to share an experience I had last week, now that I have calmed down a bit!  We have a program in our community for families, focusing on expectant parents to kindergarten-aged kids.  Last spring, I was asked to speak to new/pregnant moms about infant feeding.  Guess I came across too strong, because when I offered my services for an upcoming expectant parents tea,  I was told, after a long hesitation, that "we have to be less passionate about breastfeeding.  There are lots of women who cannot breastfeed and we don't want to make them feel guilty." Arrgghhh! Thanks for allowing me to vent my frustration!  I will keep working on education and acceptance in this small community.
