Bizarre? Hardly. The response to the poster was in reference to their statement the the breast was not designed to feed the infant.
A? come on how about is?
Who said that? Why are you making stuff up?
I’m sorry, I read wideawake’s post about 10 times, and not only did he not say that, it wasn’t even inferred. I didn’t nurse either, and while I am all for it for those that can do it, I couldn’t, and the breastfeeding gestapo was horrible to me about it.
When I had my first daughter, I tried, and it was a nightmare experience for all involved, and I was just 20, and the LaLeche League lady was so horrible to me, that even now, almost 18 years later, I still tense up thinking about the situation. And I hate to break it to the La Leche League supporters, but it was directly due to her horrible treatment of me that I never tried to breastfeed my other two children. I was terrified of ever coming across another person like that, and all the people I had met to talk to about breastfeeding were just like her. So I didn’t bother, for fear of having to deal with these people ever again. They aren’t helping anyone with their tactics.
