Some one should post this to the yarn group.

I am in complete agreement with the article. My two daughters breast fed their babies, as I did my kids, but the lack of knowledge amongst the nurses was terrible. Breast feeding is not just so simple as letting the baby nibble on the nipple, an amazing amount (nearly the whole coloured part) has to be folded and put into the baby's mouth, latched on, it's called.
It might be the natural way but the baby can't stuff the breast into his mouth. Teach the pregnant women how to for when the baby is born.
Oh hot button issue with me clearly :)
I did
Good man!
