Yes, of course there are exceptions. But actively discouraging breastfeeding because it is inconvenient is a very bad thing. I was speaking of my own experience with that. I had fallen down hard and went into labor six weeks early and it seemed that there were so many obstacles. How that is narcissistic is very obscure. Also, when I went back to work, I used a breast pump to store milk, and so did another woman I shared an office/cubicle with when she had a baby. Sometimes I went to the babysitter's place at lunch to breastfeed. Are you saying if everybody cannot breastfeed, then nobody should breastfeed? Again, this is a thread about obstacles deliberately put in place, not the obstacles that you listed.

It wasn't. You're fine. Ignore. I did NOT breastfeed my 1989 born son and regret it insanely. I loved your comment.

She obviously wasn’t speaking to the mothers who have a significant reason why they can’t breastfeed. She was telling the moms that complained they were just “too tired” with no other obstacles to suck it up. We ALL were too tired but if we COULD do it we did. The only callous comment here is yours.

Nope, did not say that at all, but thanks for not replying at all to my comments and making it all about yourself. You are AWESOME and totally a rock star.
