They need our support, understanding and praise, not discouragement and cirticism!!!
By not making moms aware of this third option for fear of "discouraging her from 
'really' breastfeeding", are we not being just as patronizing as those who will not 
tell the truth about the risks of formula for fear of "making her feel guilty"?
 
Well said, Winnie.  Excellent points.  I see my job as an LC as helping a mother meet HER goals, whatever they are.  Not imposing my goals on her.  
It is a personal journey of mine to move away from judgment and criticism and move toward acceptance and love, knowing every person has a positive intention in their feelings, beliefs, and behaviors.
