Why do breastfeeding professionals thinking it is acceptable to refuse to believe women about insufficient breastmilk and blame them when it happens? Why do they insist that it almost never happens when it is actually quite common? Why do they offer all sorts of excuses that place primary responsibility on a woman’s behavior?
Isn’t refusing to believe women who suffer from insufficient breastmilk merely re-victimizing them? Isn’t it just an effort to protect breastfeeding professionals and their colleagues at the expense of women and babies?
When a woman tells me about insufficient breastmilk or breastfeeding difficulties, #IBelieveHer.
Why don’t breastfeeding professionals believe her, too?
