There was a La Leche League consultant who was a neighbor who was HORRIFIED that I would stop at 6 weeks. Much better, apparently, to have a dead mother who breastfed than a living one who fed her baby formula. That's nuts.

I fail to see the logic behind this. But then again, we're talking about the same people who tell new moms that bottle feeding will cause their kids to DIE of infections before they're a year old. Yes, it is best for human babies, but ultimately the most important thing is for a baby to have a mom who is healthy and alive.

I had a prof who was a La Leche League member. I only know this because she took 20 minutes of every class to inform us (a class of 20-21 year old college kids who could care less) of the horrors of bottle feeding. I failed to see what that had to do with Business Writing.
