The lactation consultant says, “You have the best chance to provide your baby with the best possible start in life, through the special bond of bresatfeeding. The wonderful advantages to you and your baby will last a lifetime.” And then the mother bottlefeeds. Why?
In this fantastic article by Diane Wiessinger, she offers a new way of talking about breastfeeding.

Once you read this article, you’ll never say “breast is best” or talk about the “benefits of breastfeeding” ever again.

Yes, I do love Diane Wiessinger’s articles. I was lucky enough to hear her speak at an LLL enrichment day last year – and actually in my home town of St Helens too! – where she read from WYL. It made such a deep and lasting impression on me.
