Hi!
Thanks for your forthright comments about women who do not bother to BF
their children.  I agree wholeheartedly with you!  I, too, get tired of the
"Let's be careful about what we say so that no one feels guilty for not BF"
garbage.  When I ask someone who is pregnant if they are going to BF and
they tell me no, I say "Gee, that's too bad.  Your baby really deserves the
best.  Why do you not want to BF?"  Sometimes it puts people off, but I
think it is time for folks to get a life and realize that BF is not a
lifestyle choice, it is a health issue.  Women are the only people on the
face of this Earth who can give their children the best nature has to give,
and yet they are constantly "talked" into giving them something less than
ideal, and something that is many times unsafe and unhealthy.  Breasts were
not put on a woman to look at, and if they were not made to feed babies they
would never produce milk.
Good for you!
