Here I go again, I just can't contain myself...Sorry!
I, too, am concerned about a man making this kind of seriously important
decision for a woman. In part, it (breastfeeding) is what women were
designed to do. Anyone witholding medication from a diabetic or heart
patient would be arrested. How is it we don't recognize the right of
babies to be breastfed? How can anyone withold what is the elixir for
infants? It's really quite the same. (I am very aware that there may
be circumstances - though extrememly rare - where a breastfeeding
relationship cannot be had. How unfortunate that is.)
Thanks, for letting me have another whack at this understandably HOT
topic.
