I didn't see the show ;-) but for those of you who balk at the idea of
going to her website, here's one of the "Myths of Motherhood"!

Shame it isn't balanced out by the fact that bf is also easy for many women.

"Myth 2: Breastfeeding Will Be Easy.
Mothers say: I really felt like a failure when I wasn't able to breastfeed
my baby in the very beginning.
Reality: Many women have trouble with breastfeeding. They often experience
feelings of guilt and failure, because it seems like it should come
naturally. Women are also told that breastfeeding is best for their babies,
so when they have trouble, they feel that they've failed. Beginning
breastfeeding is difficult, and can be painful. It may take some hard work,
and it may not work for you and your baby. Knowing about these difficulties
before your baby is born may help you cope with your feelings."

What makes this urgggggggggg is that I bet there are tons of mothers /
pregnant out there who watched this :-(
