When I was working with teenagers, I found that breastfeeding gave them "ownership" of their baby; this was something that only THEY could do, even if grandma was going to be taking over so mom could return to school. This aspect often appealed to them. Many, however, not having grown up with BF as the norm, could not conceive of the fact that the baby would "do that". If we could get into those high school health/child life classes, maybe we could get the word out that bf is a normal, healthy process (I know, I am looking for that ideal world again).
