In regards to the subject of "militant" breastfeeding advocates, I really feel they are just extremely passionate about what is best for baby. Yes, it may come off as very strong and demanding, but some moms NEED that.Like babies, every mother is different. Some mothers will not listen if it is not direct and "militant". And of course, some moms need a passive approach. What the "militant" advocates need to remember is that it only works for SOME women--they need to be resposnsible and determine what approach each mother needs. And if they are too bold for them, then they need to be honest and willing to lead them to a more passive advocate. *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
