"Hopefully in time and maybe with our help, the people who come to us
realize they did what they believed (with the knowledge they had) to be the
right thing.   And hopefully after that realization,
they don't feel guilty anymore (I.E. for listening to their Ped. and giving
ABM or NOT listening to their Ped. and NOT giving ABM etc.) and just accept
and continue from there."

"Unless they had a true understanding of the importance of breastfeeding and
all the information and support they needed to be successful, they should
not feel guilty.  Angry?  Perhaps.  But guilty?  Never."

I'm glad we agree.
