We've talked before on this list about women feeling regret, not guilt, and I am wondering if women who don't breastfeed are really feeling "attacked" by those promoting bottlefeeding. I am comparing their experience to that of women who have difficulty conceiving. They are certainly going to *feel* like they are bombarded with images of pregnant women everywhere.  They may feel that their bodies have failed them, but do they feel like they are being treated unfairly just by seeing others finding joy in their condition? Does it make them feel guilty? Hurt? Jealous? Cheated?
