The difference between normal breastfeeding and medical breastfeeding is, in

Dear Friends:
Kerry's eloquence reminds me of a quote I heard somewhere that I can
only paraphrase now: one can see the values of a culture by how it births its
children.
Birth in the USA is routinely violent. And breastfeeding? I can't tell
you how many mothers are taught to "ram" the baby onto the breast, or fight
with the baby to breastfeed every two hours.
