Did that mom celebrating her 6 month breastfeeding milestone just put all who formula feed down? Are breastfeeding advocates saying moms that don’t breastfeed don’t want the best for their babies? Could it sometimes just be a case of something being lost in translation?
Magazines, websites, even businesses now offer frequent support with articles on breastfeeding, pages devoted to trouble shooting potential breastfeeding problems, staff experts responding to breastfeeding questions, and even live support available online or to call in to speak to someone. In theory it sounds great and in some ways it is. But even in offering support there are opportunities for unsupportive support.
