Yes, I did put in my e-mail something to the effect that they could refer 
women to their local LLL Leader or to a Lactation Consultant for help. I 
read the host's bio and she does have 2 kids....so total speculation...but I 
am guessing/assuming that she did not/could not breastfeed.

I had a similar experience when I was at a City Commission Meeting with 
several nursing moms in reference to a nursing in public matter. The female 
news reporter from a local station that was there covering the story was a 
bit snide and wondering why we couldn't all just pump and put it in a bottle 
to feed when we were in public. Of course I didn't ask but you could just 
kind of tell she had either not attempted bf or not done it for very long 
for whatever reason. Or maybe she was one of the women who pump and feed a 
bottle in public, who knows?

It is sad because societal issues are some of the biggest things that stand 
in women's way of breastfeeding---some never start and some wean early. I am 
not an especially "discreet" nurser even in public---even now that my 
daughter is 21-months-old and I have a huge 30-week-pregnant belly! But I 
wasn't 100% that I was even going to breastfeed at all until right before my 
daughter was born and even then it was a day to day thing. I had an 
extremely supportive husband who helped me realize that regardless of anyone 
or anything else nursing our daughter was priority #1.
