<We, who are on the cutting edge of this information, have
to be compassionate and persistent as we educate those around us. There has
to be also a big forgiveness piece in our education for the folks that did
the best they could with what they had, and who may hear this new
information through the filter of their personal experience, anger, and
grief.>
So well and empathetically said, Nikki!
I am still actively forgiving myself for weaning my first successfully breastfed child too suddenly. Toddler nursing was "in the closet" back then, and I can look back and see I wasn't reading his body language very well, dead set on what I thought it was time to do.
Too soon we grow old, too late we get smart. Just think how many of today's current business and government and societal leaders of the Baby Boomer generation never got what many of today's babies are now able to have, thanks to the persistent, dedicated effort by breastfeeding mothers and their many supporters, to change our culture But we've actually just begun!.
