   	I read it.  While I found it kind of amazing, and for the most part, true, I didn’t see the “moms who want to breastfeed but aren’t able to” point of view, nor did I see that as a possibility.  I saw “if you don’t breastfeed, you are a bad mother, whether you can or not” and actually, one of the comments read “Prepare for a boat load of comments my friend. This blog has been forwarded to a couple breastfeeding communities and I think the ladies will come over here and say thanks for putting a funny spin on this topic. As for the bottlefeeders that will come and tell you that you’re making them feel guilty waaaaaa, and that you paint a bad picture of bottlefeeding are just feeling guilty for making the wrong ‘choice’ about using formula. And then the will go on to say that they had a *cough* medical *cough* issue that stopped them from breastfeeding. blah blah blah, excuses excuses. Breastfeeding is not a choice, it’s a birthright.”  I know you didn’t post that, but for me, there actually WAS a medical reason.  I wasn’t producing enough, and Sophia wasn’t gaining.  While I think the article was well-written, I don’t think it left the door open to other possibilities, which I would have liked to see.
