One mother quoted in the article says:
"So endemic is the belief that breast is best, many bottle-feeding
mothers feel uncomfortable about publicly doing so. Maxine says: 'I
went to a baby-massage class and it was as if all the breastfeeding
mums had won the gold stars. If you bottle-feed, you're treated as if
you're giving your baby cocaine. The NHS has lost the plot - it's not
poison. It's milk."
Is there anywhere, in the whole wide world, where a mother who bottle
feeds is 'treated as if she is giving her baby cocaine'?
Even allowing for exaggeration?
No. I am tired of these untruths - far more common are the women who
are breastfeeding and who are treated as if they are weird, mad,
indulgent, self-indulgent, selfish, exhibitionist.....and I *know*
many instances of that happening.
