I saw the picture of that "baby." It was evident why the mother was kicked
off the flight....doesn't the law say that breastfeeding is OK in public as
long as the child is under three months, the mother is in a tent and no one,
including flight attendants, are personally offended? The minute someone is
offended negates and nullifies the law, right? Not to mention if the child is
old enough to sit upright on their own without benefit of support.
My, my, my.
Y'know guys, it is time to bag this profession and time for a bookstore.
I'm feeling battered on all sides:
From the IBLCE (SoP, CERP issue, 2nd credential, lack of response to
concerns, makeup of the board, refusal to respond to concerns, Exam issues,
inability to get applications out in a timely manner, etc etc....)
From the ACOG (no out of hospital births tolerated)
From the AAP (Absolutely, never, ever, under any circumstances, bedshare
with your infant)
From the AMA (SoP for NON-physicians? Heaven help us!!)
Etc etc etc.
Why on earth am I in this breastfeeding business? Someone mentioned it
going the way of the Edsel. Yes -- and the albatross. I'd like to think the
Phoenix, but it rose again, and I'm not sure breastfeeding can withstand all
the assaults. Not to mention lactation consultants. And normal birthing
proponents.
I'm old.
Maybe retirement?
