Language is a powerfull tool and the sentence 'Breast is Best' is in my 
opinion emotional black mailing. I have yet to meet a parent who was not 
hurt by it, when they had tried all they knew (or been told) and things 
were just not working for a variety of reasons.

I would love this 'Breast is Best' sentence not to be used anymore, as I 
don't think anyone has the right to hurt, induce quilt or blame a parent.

My 2 cents worth.

But saying "Breast is Best" or "Normalize Breastfeeding' is not tearing
some one down.
