Article on BF'ing

KShiz

Interesting article from CNN w/ advice from some moms who overcame bf'ing problems. Might be helpful for mom's to be or mom's currently experiencing challenges.

My dr. actually told me about that article when I was going through my little crisis after E was born.  One of the most interesting things for me after I read it, was to read all of the comments posted at the end.  If anyone didn't understand how polarizing the BF v. FF issue is, I think the tension comes across loud and clear.

 Some of them are mean right?!?  Esp. the ones like "If you're not going t BF than don't have kids!" I saw something similar on another board that if you let your kid CIO, then you shouldn't have kids..."  It's just so awful that moms treat each other that way. Instead of BF or FF support, how about we just have MOM support?

Couldn't agree with this more!  We beat ourselves up bad enough as it is sometimes that we don't need another Mom to look down on us as well.  I already told myself to have some tough skin in the future... some of those playground Mamas can be cruel sometimes.
