<<"We need to do more work on the optimal duration of breast feeding for
people in the West,....">>
You know what? No "we" don't! Why does this notion offend me? It does,
though. The idea that some so-called authority feels compelled to figure
out *for me* how long would be "optimal" for *me* to breastfeed *my* kids is
offensive. Patronizing, too, while we're at it. There are days when I wish
all of these high & mighty authority-types would just get out of
breastfeeding altogether, & leave us women and our babies the heck alone. I
guess this is one of those days....
