Yea, but isn't this the attitude about anything that goes against the
cultural norm -- whatever that "norm" is in that particular hospital?  I got
it for wanting a home birth.  Moms get it if they want to breastfeed and keep
their babies in bed with them.  Parents get it if they choose to not:  (pick
one -- vaccinate/circumcise/birth in a hospital/start solids at 5
months/whatever).

It's the way....walk ye in it.
