Anne, when I was reading the description of your diverse mother's group a flash of inspiration zapped me. Do you have access to the cartoon books by Joan McCartney ("We Should Do This More Often" and "The Other Side Makes Chocolate") -- distributed by La Leche League -- and possibly other places as well). They depict the lighter side of parent/child interactions, often with a breastfeeding theme, and most of the cartoons are reflect a parenting "truth." They serve as super discussion starters. And, when you have the group laughing there is less risk individuals will feel intimidated by the content. While I try to be very sensitive to the women in a group who "couldn't" breastfeed, I think it is vital for them to hear the truth. The women who are breastfeeding often provide gentle reality checks for the mothers who talk about why they "couldn't" breastfeed. Many times I've listened as breastfeeding moms reassure a mom who has weaned for bogus reasons ("not enough milk," "milk not rich enough" etc.) that she probably could've breastfed. Because they are able to share this in a non-threatening way ("Wow -- did you get bad advice!") It is generally a nurturing interaction. I've seen a few "failed" moms return successfully nursing a subsequent baby. BTW: women who "really couldn't" nurse their babies don't automatically feel badly when they are around women who can nurse. Of course there is grieving for what is not, but that doesn't make them feel guilty. One of my biggest "breastfeeding boosters" is a mom who tried and tried but couldn't sustain lactation (long story). She KNOWS what a precious activity it is! It's great hearing all the ways everyone is celebrating WBW. Margery Wilson, IBCLC Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
