Is K still on medicine for reflux? (Alex weaned off at seven months.) And are you a UCC seminary student? I was raised in the UCC church, and converted to Unitarian-Universalism not because of discontent for my religious upbringing, but as a solution to a mixed marriage.
I do wonder if the lactivists know the effect they're having on many women who are struggling with breastfeeding. It doesn't surprise me that you didn't want to go to LLL, because I can't imagine going there with my next baby. I'm not willing to make a full confession of my sins and beg for forgiveness, which I expect is the only way I'd be accepted.
And I know what you mean about the awful "relationship" comments. You know what? It was bad for my relationship with Alex, and hers with mine, for us to spend the vast majority of our time together having me try to force her to do something she struggled with. I never got to enjoy her.
And I hate the way they talk about formula feeding as though there's no cuddling involved - as if we just prop a bottle in the kid's mouth and walk away. I know that some women do, but I'm sure that they're in the tiny minority.
