Both Rachel and Nina quite nicely illustrated the second part of my talk... which is why all the change must not be placed on mom and guilt should really be shifted to those who withdrew the support and need to rebuilt it. Until such time as every health worker in ANY FUNCTION fully understands the implications of breastfeeding, until such time as babies are given full freedom to breastfeed anywhere they want, until such time that mothers are given adequate parental leave, until such time that mothers are permitted to bring their babies to work or to express milk for their babies, until such time that every baby has full access to HUMAN milk, until such time that mothers have not experienced sexual abuse,.... the onus should be on those who support mothers to assist them to create as normal an infant feeding experience as possible. So, there will be a big BUT..... in my talk!
