Well written AA. What a complete and utter numpty (I have far more unattractive labels for him, put lets keep it clean) Do he and others like him even realise how stupid they sound?

I did find his article particularly ironic considering his little write-up at the top.

Double standards or what? Sadly his article will reach more than this. I hope he at least sees it.

I'm honestly getting so tired of being called 'militant' just because I don't sugar coat the facts if someone asks me. I am tired of treading on eggshells for fear of causing someone somewhere some guilt over something. We're adults, we make our own decisions. If you're truly happy with yours then noone can make you feel guilty. If you're not, well then I do feel for you, genuinely, but I'm not going to tiptoe around you. The facts need to be heard so women can make an educated, informed decision on what is best for their child in any given parenting situation. THAT is feminism.

Agree! Talk about hypocracy!

Yup, that is just about right. A journalist taking money from the formula companies and then ranting about breastfeeding advocacy - honestly the Levenston Inquiry is only the tip of the iceberg! Is there even such a thing as a neutral press any more? This is a brilliant response and as always wonderfully written. Thank you so much for this, made my night!

I cannot believe how disgusting this Telegraph article is. This man talks about choice but it should be about informed choice. And unfortunately formula companies have so much more power than all "Breastfeeding Nazis" and "Breastapo" combined.
When I had my boy I thought formula is almost as good as breast milk and if I wasn't able to breastfeed I would have happily given it to him. Now, I consider myself quite an informed individual, but I had no idea how much better breastmilk actually is and what amazing benefits it has. Formula companies not only push their products but also downplay the benefits of breastmilk. Only when I began reading about breastfeeding in greater detail was I able to get the full picture and that is a shame. Every person should know the benefits of breastfeeding in order to make an informed decision for them and their baby. However, I was lucky and I got the support I needed right at the beginning when breastfeeding was tough and I managed to get through it and I enjoyed breastfeeding for many months. Every woman has that right to make an informed decision and to get all the support she needs to feed her baby the way she likes.

Why is it though the people in the press can be awful, rude and anti to women who breastfeed? The very thing they are accusing us of they are doing themselves! Remove

Actually you provide evidence based information and support informed choice, so I guess that makes you a militant too!

I would add: why the numerous Nazi references? How does infant feeding relate to gas chambers, hateful mass murder, and the attempted extermination of a people. Forget about his mixed up facts, more concerning are his mixed up feelings. Why such intense hatred, and towards whom?
