I read this article and sent the following reply to Dr. Lee

Hi Dr. Lee,

I just read your article on spiked health.

It was so interesting to read. I am a breastfeeding mom and a lactation 
consultant. I think what this study drives home is the fact that the health 
care community waves the breastfeeding flag but often does not support 
breastfeeding and often undermines it.

There are so many obstacles to breastfeeding - we ate often told - this is 
the best way to go so get out there and do it. It reminds me of sports - it 
can be hard or seemingly impossible - "here is a pair of roller skates - get 
out there." Without ever having seen anyone roller-skate, lots of   ads for 
walking shoes, free pairs of walking shoes and no guidance. The roller rink 
is filled with skaters joyfully gliding around and there you are holding on 
for dear life with bloody knees. I too would feel inadequate.




Thank you for listening to these women - I hope you share this with the 
health care world.
