But then again I've already been labeled as a rotten mother as I do not like breastfeeding. I know that it's considered best, and it's free and easy etc etc, but it's just not for me. I just don't like it to be blunt. I usually don't mention that I actually do still partially breastfeed my son, even though I don't like it. I don't mind people disliking me, lol. I feel sorry for those who'll skim the Times article, and get themselves in a dither over the 'jump out' facts. You're right, it's not worded particually well.
