I am sorry to convey a complaint here but bashing mothers that make a
choice to use ABM is just not fair or appropriate.  An outsider has NO
IDEA what her situation is nor should they make it their business what
her personal situation is.  I could go on and on with reasons that an
almost exclusively breastfeeding mother and baby could have been in the
situation of feeding the baby ABM while holding her near her breast.
I have no information deficit as to why mother's milk is a better choice
than ABM and the hazards of ABM.  What I have chosen and how I feel
about ABM and mother's milk does not and should not be a factor in how I
help mothers and babies.  I think the ABM mother bashing is a problem
for the field of lactation.  I don't believe any type of bashing is
appropriate for lactnet.
