What I  talked about originally was meeting the mother where she is and 
supporting her  decisions: whatever they are.>>>
 
Some passionate Bf advocates, like many LCs, may be more likely to  "meet the 
mother where she is" and then instead of promptly and actively  supporting a 
formula feeding decision, the LC may use experience and  intuition to figure 
out the most effective ways to build a rapport with the  mother, regardless of 
her "caliber", to then utilize that rapport to support  additional mothering 
activities, while finding opportune moments to,  appropriate to the mother's 
physical and emotional state, educate the  mother about lactation and encourage 
breastfeeding and/or providing  breastmilk.
 
No matter the social-economic status of new moms, it is amazing what a  
little rapport building, education, and ongoing support can accomplish in  regards 
to breastfeeding.
 

Why does  that happen with particular threads? Why the  tangents?>>>>


maybe because we all have our own opinions.
