Come to think of it I gave some goofy breastfeeding related advice today.
A mom of a 6 month old said she enjoys nursing but really wants to wean at a year because she doesn't want the baby walking around and pulling at her shirt to nurse.
So I told her "Don't let him learn to walk."
In reality she is getting the anti-breastfeeding messaege from family members. We talked awhile the more I thought about it the more PO'd I got that she does what is best for her baby and gets negative feed back.
I was sure to give her the local LLL number.
