[quote=Anonymous]Only read the first couple of pages but, as expected, DCUM is stunningly defensive. I agree with you OP (and I have a nursing infant myself). IME, the women that are physically able to breastfeed but choose not to are either: 1) Extreme extroverts, don’t like the idea of being “tethered” to baby 2) Stressed out with short maternity leaves, other kids, lack of help Nobody on earth can help #1. But #2 could easily be helped by giving long maternity and paternity leaves (like say… Canada or UK). And maybe better retirement benefits so that grandparents don’t have to work into their 70s and instead can help during that critical time that breastfeeding has to be established.[/quote]
