>If, somehow, the wonderfulness of breastmilk could be transferred to a baby, without the embarrassment of lifting a shirt, or the inconvenience of holding a baby, why we could bottle it and sell it. Oh, yes, that's what "they" are doing.
I am so looking forward to getting out of school, and getting my head
out of this big, black cloud.<

Hold on there, Sam!

Women who did their best to breastfeed but were not able to achieve
their goals are sad and feel angry at the society (or circumstances)
which failed them. They do not feel guilty and they do not need to
attack others.

What you are seeing is the pain and anguish of women who, for whatever
reason, have not been able to experience the joy of mothering. They
are lashing out at you, at least in part, because they are jealous of
what you have achieved and need to justify their own decisions.

You and your children are living proof that breastfeeding IS a viable
option, so stand tall!
YOU know what is important, and YOU are the one who will be reaching
out, one mother and one baby at a time. And remember, it is not about
the milk, it is about the mothering.
