Yes, there is a time for everything.
I do know, however, that I was never more passionate about advocating for
breastfeeding rights, as when I was actually lactating. I still believe in
it, but I don't feel the pain in my gut and heart when I think of babies not
being breastfed, like I used to when I was actually lactating myself.
For that reason, I think we need women in this stage of life, represented in
politics, and on our breastfeeding advocacy committees and coalitions.
Maybe society as a whole, needs the voice of women in this stage of life,
and hormonal state, to counteract voices of people (men?) who don't consider
things the same way at all, due to their predominant hormones.

Janice,
Yes, I feel torn myself a bit on the breastfeeding angle, but my concern
first and always is for the BABY in any question relating to needs of
mothers vs babies.
This seems to me to be a situation where "There is a Time for Everything."
would have been good advice, or better, a good personal philosophy.
Sue
