Thank you, Susan! I, too, am wondering how the mediators will rise to
the challenge once they are committed to protecting breastfeeding. It
will take all their experience, education, ingenuity, and compassion.
I am sure they don't stop to think that what is being requested is not
only not normal, but biologically just out of the question. Fathers
neither gestate nor lactate in the normal scheme of things. We can
protect both pregnancy and breastfeeding if we make both our priorities,
for the baby's sake, as well as the parents.
Luckily it's not my responsibility to solve the whole thing, just to
protect the breastfeeding piece. I have faith that the professionals who
spend their careers in this arena will bring creative solutions to the
table if they just reframe their starting point.
