I was lucky; breastfeeding worked well for me and my kids. I know I was lucky, just as I was lucky to have uncomplicated pregnancies and healthy babies. I'm certainly not in any position to look down on people who haven't had the same good fortune. It's like looking down on somebody who's carrying more debt than I am because they were unemployed for a year, because after all, debt is bad.

I despise people who think "I did this, therefore it is the ONE TRUE WAY," and are insanely judgmental about anyone who does things differently.

And also, I was bottlefed, and I am both intelligent and healthy. So the lactivists can bite me.
