The mom I posted about yesterday w/ the 5 wk old who won't nurse is a LLL member. She attended prenatally and when she went to the WBW walk w/ bottle feeding ebm she claims she got some strange looks. Then when she attended a mtg she said she prayed that her baby would not wake up to need his bottle. I suggested she just come right out and say at the beginning of the mtg how difficult her situation is and how she feels so sad that she cannot nurse her baby. I think then she would get the support she needs. I know the leaders and I know they are supportive. This is just a reminder to all of us to not assume anything or make rash judgements.
