Soooo, feeding your baby formula is more "liberating" for women???
Liberates women from WHAT? From being, uh, WOMEN???
I'm miffed.
ARGH, indeed.
I have been lurking around LACTNET for several weeks now. Really enjoy
it. Learning a lot. I'm a new LLL Leader here in Washington state
(USA). I feel privileged to be able to learn from the best in the
lactation world!
I am a little discouraged because it's becoming apparent to me that we
breastfeeding advocates do a lot of swimming upstream. Wow was I naive.
