**I would like to reframe your sentence:
"Just because I made choices that allowed me to work out X (temporarily 
refraining myself from other time consuming activities that would separate 
me from my nursling), because it is the best way to do things (i.e. feeding 
at breast exclusively until 6 months), doesn't mean that other people are 
willing to rearrange their lives in order to provide their babies with the 
best they can get: loving presence, responsive caregiving, a comforting 
breast to satisfy baby's needs."

I think we have a long way to go, before people realise how important their 
attentive presence is...

Warmly,

Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands (who's going to use Rachel's saying 
one of these days: "Breastfeeding has as little to do with milk as sex with 
semen." ;o))
