You said it so well about social engineering. I see it so often, it just  
makes me ill and sad. Women are many times so overwhelmed after birth that they  
don't remember to ask or challenge the "care" they receive. One woman I 
remember  in particular, had 6 children. She had breastfed all of them successfully 
for  many months. The parents came to see me about a week after the seventh 
baby was  born. They could not figure why the mother did not seem to have enough 
milk.  Obviously this mother knew HOW to breastfeed! As we went through her 
history and  discussed birth control, she did not even remember getting the 
depo shot. The  father did, but he was assured this would not affect 
breastfeeding. Well, it  obviously did. He was furious. And it was also apparent that this 
was done early  "because they had too many children". How is that someone 
else's decision  to make? That is the parent's decision but the mother's RIGHT to 
breastfeed was  taken from her. It also indicated how little anyone involved 
in her health care  knew or cared about breastfeeding.
No woman should have that right taken away from her. Breastfeeding is a  
feminist issue
