"Medela speaks the language of the generation."

I am running out of the office, but wanted to add my .02 worth.  I may
regret that tomorrow if I find myself unindated with hate mail, but.......
there is something to be said for speaking the language of the generation.
Wouldnt we ALL just love for every mom to experience the same warm, cuddly
wonderful breastfeeding relationship that we experienced with our children?!
But, reality is, this IS a different generation.  Times do change.  Look at
all the changes in the technical world in just the last 20 years!  Should we
have refused these changes?  What about all the people who have refused to
learn and adapt to the computers?  They are being left in the dust!
SO.....meeting moms where they are at.........is probably not such an awful
thing!  Even tho we wouldnt wish upon these moms the busy-ness of pumping
and bottle feeding their breastmilk to their babies, missing out on the
sweet aroma of sweat with the skin to skin, and the tickling of their little
fingers as they stroke while they eat, and the better facial development,
and better jaw/teeth etc. development.........   Isnt it at least better
that they are getting breastmilk????   YES!  We are to provide information
to the pts, not make the choices for them.  Just because "X" worked for me
and in my opinion is the best way to do things, doesnt mean that "X" is the
best choice for them!
