I can remember when I started teaching breastfeeding in the late 80's and so much of what I was taught was wrong - feed 1 min per side day one, 2 min per side day 2-supplement with formula at the drop of a hat, remember those days. And in my state of self-rightous ignorance I thought of LLL as a bunch of fanatics. If I had the term breast feeding Nazi, I don't think I would have used it, but it certainly speaks to the fanatacism I mistakenly believed was present. I think that in order to break through myth and misinformation requires stregnth and determination which can easily be mistaken for lunacy by the ill-informed. At least we're not being imprisoned or burned at the stake and I think that the name calling will stop when everyone perceives the truth behind the conviction, which will only come from constant education and pressure - thus leaving us open to sllegations of obsession. But it will change!
