I agree with this
All good breastfeeding supporters are pro-breast, not anti-bottle.

Clare Byam Cook's advice is completely ridiculous, but actually her only redeeming feature is that she does genuinely make women feel good about the decision they have made, whether they carry on breastfeeding or switch to bottles or some kind of mix of the two.

Although Que is right about one thing - it's usually the ones who charge and the ones who call themselves "consultants" who lay on the guilt trips. That and harrassed midwives and health visitors who want to tick the box on the form which says "discussed breastfeeding".

luckily I've not had to deal with any who charge for their services, and we have a great HV team locally - so I haven't encountered too many guilt trippers!
