Bad information About Breastfeeding

It is MUCH WORSE to give out bad information about breastfeeding or to imply that it is not important than it is to say “Wow, I don’t know, but here’s how to get in touch with someone who can answer that question for you.” It is unethical, it is unjust, and it causes premature weaning. Worst of all, it causes mothers to feel as if they did not have any control over when they chose to wean their babies. They didn’t – someone told them they had to! - Christine Staricka, IBCLC, RLC, CCE
