Quite possibly, my least favorite question is, "How long do you think a woman should bf?" Usually comes from a client, or in a bf class.... Especially with a first time mom, when one cites the world wide average of 4 years, the WHO recommendation of at least 2, Antonia Novella's statement of "lucky the child bf for 2 years..." and finally, the AAP of at least a year, the mom looks a bit glazed over. I don't even like saying, "As long as you and the baby are enjoying it" or something like that, because for many of my moms, that might be quitting at the next feed. I do like what Kathy Auerbach says that every time you bf, you make the decision to do so. I need to figure out how to put this all in a concise statement that will empower the women to bf for a truly long time, and to make the commitment to doing so. Coffee cup is empty..... Jan
