Chris responded to my hypothetical quote of a nurse repulsed by breastfeeding. This was hypothetical, but something I suspect reading between the lines of what I have heard. That's just the problem-it's not verbalized openly, but would explain some of the less than supportive attitudes I have seen from SOME nurses. I am especially thankful for the ones who are the exact opposite-eager to help moms and to learn how to be even more helpful. Sometimes I wonder if the reason a few choose to work in OB is that 50% of their patients can't talk back or complain to their supervisor?!
