Lucy, you touch on so many important points here. I recently heard one of those great pearls of wisdom that I feel relates to the points you are so beautifully articulating in this article -- When you stumble upon something that feels like a great truth, stay with it. Taste it. Live it. And then pass it onto others.
I feel that this is what breastfeeding volunteers do. It is not easy to overcome societal obstacles to breastfeed, and when we do, and when we see how that feels, how it filled our hearts, and how our children grew healthy both physically and emotionally...We wanted other mothers to receive the information and support they need to be able to taste the same empowering truths.
But, how could volunteers possibly be asked to pass anything other than what we know to be true?
As always, you said all this best! Thank you so much for your work, Lucy!
