QUESTION – Are we too extremist/militant in breastfeeding?

I had been doing a little observation. And also lots of reasoning. I notice that majority of moms fled from us rather than scurrying to join a breastfeeding support group. Take for example the feature in TP. And in Star Metro. I expect an avalanche of newbies but getting only handfuls. Why? Because no moms want to breastfeed and thus, scared of us? Probably, we had sieved almost all the breastfeeding moms who are computer literate into MMB and there is none left out there. That’s why I had been using the tagline – Parenting website with a heart rather than using anything breastfeeding. .

I wonder if members agree with me that those moms who have no intention of getting into breastfeeding will usually evade us? Are we too militant?

Me think that if any of those non-bf moms evade MMB, it’s probably bcos they might be like a sore thumb, u know, not knowing what is going on. A lot of non-bf mums I meet always say that bf is good, and they keep saying how good i am to my kids, blah blah blah, and when i ask them why they don’t bf, it’s either no milk or too “mah-fan
