Women keep getting mixed messages about breastfeeding-it is natural and healthy and at the same time told not to do it if they are going to offend someone. Very confusing for new moms!Glogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929599215560579212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448877090161630665.post-92151408167073664712010-05-24T00:50:08.180-05:002010-05-24T00:50:08.180-05:00Thank you for posting the contact information!

How completely prehistoric in their thinking...... I think you SHOULD write a letter, and put up their address and I'll write one too!! This is just one of the many examples of why so many women don't feel supported to breastfeed. What a disservice BHG just did to both women and children.

She looks really young and I doubt she has any kids.

But, I don't think anyone should feel pressured to do that. I saw a baby T-shirt somewhere (I can't remember where) that said something like "I'll eat in the bathroom when you do."
