[quote=Anonymous]^you really need to take a hard look at what you're saying. Your basic premise is that the La Leche League and the breastfeeding culture make women feel guilty for not wanting to try. At the same time, people like you are shaming and chastising them for trying to make it work.

Maybe it's because of where I lived when I was a young mother, but absolutely no one around me breastfed and there was no pressure to breastfeed,  but I certainly did hear over and over how skinny my baby was and that I needed to just start using formula blah blah blah blah blah

My only point is don't pretend that shaming and guilting moms is a one-sided phenomenon, because it's not

People like you don't actually listen to the mother when she reaches out for help. If it's something she wants to do, whether it is Start Formula or keep breastfeeding, try to answer that question instead of telling her to either breastfeed at all costs or just give up right away and go to formula. Neither  response is helpful

And if anyone was actually listening to Op,  we can see there's a lot more going on than a breastfeeding weight gain issue. She has a lot of issues that need addressing and help[/quote]
