Sorry :) Sometimes I'm at a loss for words. I'm been called one of those numerous times for my views on births/babies/breastfeeding. It doesn't offend me though. It's how I feel/live/believe. I'd never call a breastfeeding counsellor or midwive one! The ones I've met are far too good at what they do in getting the message across to have to resort to the way I blatantly state things at time. Guess that's why I'll never be able to be either one of those and instead spend my life getting my fix on list like ozmid!
Here's to getting the message out there that there that breast is absolutely perfect.

Sorry. Jayne, I appreciate your sentiments, and realise we are on the same side. But could we please not use "Nazi" in relation to passionate supporters of breastfeeding? Most on this list put their heart and soul into birth and breastfeeding. The term "nazi" offends me to the core. I just can't bear it, and I just don't see the funny side about it. If breastfeeding supporters use it, even in jest, how can we expect others not to? (usually to deride the fantastic work done by breastfeeding counsellors and midwives) What new mother would want to speak to a "Nazi?" It turns people away from getting sound advice. Off my soapbox now! Barb
