It has been eons since I breast-fed and I breast-fed Mike (though not exclusively) until he was 3. (A hospital nurse accused me of being from Appalachia and my own -granted dysfunctional family - thought I had lost my mind and was an exhibitionist).

HOWEVER, I worked out of my own home and I had the ability to do this. I tried breast bumps and remember feeling horrible -- more like Bossy the Cow than a concerned human mother.

You are right that all marginalized groups can be set against each other and kept from looking at the real problem -- our place as equal and worthwhile human beings.

Whatever works, you do it, and get on with your life.
