Paula Tripp says:

"I really think we (LCs and Leaders and anybody) can promote breastfeeding
actively without turning people off by being calm and respectful as we do
stand up for what we believe in.  I don't think we need to water anything
down in the process.  There is a time and a place to express oneself as a
zealot, and that would
be in a meetng with like-minded people who support each other, but not to the
people we hope to attract to breastfeeding.  Just my opinion."

Paula, I would like to say that I agree with this wholeheartedley. Much as
we would like to come out with words and research flying ...(not
fists..)...it is sometimes better to walk softly....in the cause of
promoting breastfeeding.
