I stumbled across a group on the internet called the Militant Breastfeeding Cult. It's about truth.
The goal of the woman who started it is to "advocate for breastfeeding based on facts grounded in solid research"
Here is a short extract of what they are about
- No, wedo not believe breastfeeding is the measure of good mothering. Breastfeeding is one of only a multitude of choices a mother needs to make. A mother can formula feed, and be a wonderful mom. Another mother can breastfeed and be a terrible mother. One choice does not determine it.
We do hope to encourage more good mothers to make the choice to breastfeed their babies rather than use an inferior substitute when it is not necessary.
- No, we do not think mothers who are truly unable to breastfeed should feel guilty and wedo not intend to make them feel guilty. We all must make choices based on the the situations we are in, and if you cannot breastfeed, you cannot.
We do think these mothers should have other options, such as human milk banks and wet nurses, but these just aren't easily available in most societies. We hope by speaking out, more people will become aware of this deficiency and perhaps do something to provide these services.
