We had a patient who had requested an LC see her one day, on her Press  Ganey 
she referred to my coworker as the "BF Nazi", this was several years  ago.  
No one on this planet could be farther from that comparison.  
I often tell people that I  had never seen but one patient BF while I  was in 
nursing school on my OB rotation of over 6 months, I was the one to be  
convinced to "try" it and long story short it took until the second baby to  
convince me that it was a wonderful long term commitment.  And as I told my  
brother-in-law who wondered "how long I would breastfeed?".  "Nothing is  worse than 
a convert to a cause".  He knew exactly what I meant, because he  had 
converted to Catholicism and was ardent in his conversion.  It brought  it home 
beautifully.  Some of us take things we have for granted and others  who discover 
the same thing will pursue it  with great vigor exploring all  aspects.  I 
celebrate the women who choose to BF beyond what this society  thinks as "normal 
time" and realize not everyone comes to it on the same time  frame....it just 
might take them a little longer.
Time to go see all those Christmas inductions in chilly S Fl
