I will say it again, that I think such an event only serves to turn more 
people off. If mothers want to breastfeed, it is our job (ethically, 
morally and in every other way) to support them and help them over the 
rough spots.As a professional, it is NOT my job to be involvibng myself in 
something that I think in the long run will potentially set breastfeeding 
back instead of moving the movement forward.I worked long and hard to 
attain my IBCLC and I am a medical professional as well. I refuse to make 
us look like a bunch of radicals when we can do our work quietly and 
professionally and probably do far more for this very important cause. Our 
job is to advocate for the health benefits of breastfeeding as well as 
support mothers through the process. I do not think picketing a Victoria's 
Secret is the way to get the point across.
