I have more to say on this topic and have been composing a post on breastfeeding for a few days, but have been unable to edit it down to a manageable and coherent piece. That being said, I am tired of feeling like the decision to breastfeed or not (or for how long or how and when and where you do it) says something about your mothering abilities or how much you love your child.
Let me be perfectly clear: Breastfeeding does NOT make you a better mother than anyone else, and NOT doing so does not make you a worse mother.
It's not a contest. Breastfeeding is great for your child, but if you cannot, will not, don't want to do it....that's your decision and no one else's to judge.
Despite what the cover of TIME magazine would like you to think.
