PLEASE actually watch the entire video. I have read some of Karleen Gribble's 
work, and was surprised that it was thought she was "anti" breastfeeding. She 
is not, and neither is the video. 

The speaker IS a good breastfeeding advocate. The jist of her talk is similar 
to "Watch Your Language." Not that breastfeeding is "unusual and better" but 
that it is the norm, and that not breastfeeding is less than normal and healthy.

She speaks about a study done in the US, where although most people 
interviewed said that "breastfeeding was healthier for the baby" the same 
people also said that formula feeding would *not* be less healthy for the 
baby. (Both can't be true, and she brings this up.)

The speaker is not against breastfeeding at all, but like most of us here, wants 
people to know it is the norm and that anything *else* is far inferior. 

Please, don't judge a video by it's name alone. Please watch it in it's entirety 
before calling fellow breastfeeding advocates names. 

Thank you.
