Mary -

Just finished the book, even shared sections with my fifteen year old teens
(twins - one of each gender). Doesn't the book make you wonder what will happen
to this new generation of women-in-the-making as they begin to have their own
families? I truely wish for the day when this profession of mine - LC, that is -
is obsolete because breastfeeding has become the cutural norm whose information
has been absorbed into all the various curriculums(from health care to
psychology to political science). This book made me see clearly that we, as a
society, are quickly moving in the opposite direction from that end in the way
we treat women and socialize our men-to-be to treat and think of women. Who says
breastfeeding isn't a feminist issue?
