Thanks, Jessica, for your edifying post. The concept of mothering the
mother is basically good, but the way it is practiced as you describe it,
certainly isn't BF friendly!
I wonder, is there any kind of ideology behind these women's family sizes,
like valuing number of offspring more than the health of the offspring or
the mother? Would there be a way to approach breastfeeding by discussing it
in the context of improved health for MOTHER? Osteoporosis, breast cancer,
less stress if oxytocin is encouraged to flow freely? I am assuming,
possibly wrongly, that mothers would value anything that will increase their
chances of being healthy grandmothers.
Just wondering,
