<<Been thinking about teaching/advocacy approaches and it struck me how
inappropriate it is to discuss "advantages vs disadvantages" of feeding
methods. Perhaps it is only semantics, and we are *worrying* too much about
how the message is sent, but the more I think about it, the more it bothers
me. It is too argumentative/implications that there are serious disadv. to
say, brfdg. IT also minimizes the emotional component of choice--who of us
isalways "rational" about the choices we knowingly make? Even
"risks/benefits" seem too cut and dried.>>
Sometimes in our LLL meetings we use the phrase "the differences that
breastfeeding can make."
