[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... DH said he thought she was doing a great thing by promoting BF, and clearly it is very important to her ([b]implying that if a woman didn't still BF with a one year old, she must not have put a high importance on it[/b]). From there things really went downhill and of course we ended up fighting about our own issues and not really Gisele - I think nobody should be passing judgement on other moms about how long or if they breastfeed. I myself did it with both kids for about 6 months, but I am a working mom and once I start pumping during the day, my supply goes down and things just come to a natural end pretty quickly.

[b]I think DH believes I didn't try hard enough[/b], and that really upsets me, but it is not why I am posting. I am just curious, does anyone else find that photo irritating? At best, I find it counterproductive if the goal is to promote BF and an attitude of women can have it all, since most of us are not Gisele Bundchen with all her money and glamorous life. At worst, I think it is obnoxiously smug. And yes, I am more than a little jealous:)[/quote]

Has your DH said other things that make you believe this?  Or do you think you might be projecting your own feelings?  I took his comment about promoting BF and it's importance to her more at face value.  As in he thinks it is a good thing to promote breastfeeding. I agree personally, but still fully support women who can't/choose not to.  I think breastfeeding is better in general terms, but each individual must choose what is best in their specific situation.  And if someone is actively promoting breastfeeding, then it must be important to them.  That doesn't necessarily imply anything about the importance of breastfeeding to those who are not, did not breastfeed a one year old.[/quote]
