I have to stay I couldn't read it. I'm so damn tired of people saying "breast is best". It's not best it's normal! NORMAL Normal human behavior.

I didn't like the bit where she disparages the WORLD Health Organisation's weaning guidelines as Scotland is a place where there is high quality formula milk and people have clean places to prepare food (it's still part of the world as far as I know!).

This isn't what the guidelines are about though and in fact the guidelines have different weaning guidance for countries like Scotland/England/US/France/etc compared to countries like the Sudan/Vietnam/Gambia (different values of BM to complementary foods) so the guidance does take different countries needs into account Hmm

Like hazcem I also didn't like the 'breast is best' bobbins - it's not best, that's like saying dialysis is okay but using your own kidneys is 'best' (dialysis is great if your kidneys don't work btw but not the go to choice surely?)
