[quote=Anonymous]There are always two sides to the How You Feed Your Baby Mean Girl story. There are some lactivists who are everything described here - self-righteous and tone-deaf, accusatory and condescending, assuming that women who are not breastfeeding are doing so because they are lazy or stupid. There are also women who say horrible things about women who breastfeed, to their faces - e.g., that they are selfish and care more about some hippie-dippy notion than they do about their baby's health and I also had a woman suggest that it was sexually inappropriate to enjoy breastfeeding at all. There are plenty of women who are in between these extremes. The bottom line is that it would be nice if women were offered more support, in general, for keeping their children fed and happy. That is far from universal on either side of the How You Feed Your Baby Conversation.[/quote]
