Barbara,
I am going to try and really take to heart what you have said in the whole of
your post, the following lines have really struck home to me. I have become
'a whinger' of late and I don't like this side of me and it has taken over how
I have been acting when in company with other breastfeeding pro colleagues.
I have become cynical and taking advantage of an audience to tell 'the one
better (more awful) story'. Thank you for reminding me.
<<It isn't up to me to make you behave the same way I do. It's just up to me
to set a good example of how a person behaves who wants to help mothers
breastfeed. It's just up to me to understand how it works as best I can,
and to represent my profession as ethically as I can. If we pay sufficient
attention to what we are doing, we'll spend less time being pointlessly
frustrated over how the rest of them aren't doing right. >>
kindest regards,
Helen Woodman, who had the pleasure of attending LCGB's 5th Annual Conference
at Reading, UK, on Saturday, where Tom Hale was Guest Speaker - I thought he
was great and I look forward to the day when other branches of HCPs here in UK
invite him to speak.
