Thank you, Debra. I'll be thinking about this at our Series meeting on
Wednesday night.
I think you are absolutely right that, although lots of health care
professionals support breastfeeding, and mothers in increasing numbers
know that it is best, it is still a jump to the kind of "mothering
through breastfeeding" that we develop in LLL. One of the things that I
think mothers need is a "you can try this at home!" approach to
breastfeeding challenges. You know, real mothers and real babies, not
the ones mothers-in-law and formula manufacturers talk about in their
back-handed promotion of breast-but.
