Gem I think you are right on about how woman now have no support from family members. My mom had nursed us all, but for a very short period of time and my MIL was the same. When I finally got comfortable with it I knew I would never do formula but I had a lot of preassure to do formula for the "just in case"
I was nursing right after DD1 turned 1 and my dad asked me three times in like a half hour when I was going to wean her. I kind of snapped and told him it was none of his bussiness, so I can totally understand your passion with breastfeeding I feel the same way too.
