We are socializing our children to believe that scantily clad Victoria's Secret models and Hooter's waitstaff are the norm, and that women feeding their babies their own milk is something strange. Keep swimming against the tide and one day the tide will turn. Few mothers even attempted breastfeeding when La Leche League was founded 50+ years ago, and now about 70% at least start at birth. That should be nearly 100%, but we're moving in the right direction. I'm with you, Peggy.
