Hi,

I'm being far more "bah humbug" than I really should be for christmas!  Sorry.  
Jayne, I appreciate your sentiments, and realise we are on the same side.

But could we please not use "Nazi" in relation to passionate supporters of 
breastfeeding?  Most on this list put their heart and soul into birth and 
breastfeeding.  The term "nazi" offends me to the core.  I just can't bear it, 
and I just don't see the funny side about it.  If breastfeeding supporters use 
it, even in jest, how can we expect others not to?  (usually to deride the 
fantastic work done by breastfeeding counsellors and midwives)  What new mother 
would want to speak to a "Nazi?"  It turns people away from getting sound 
advice.

Off my soapbox now!

Barb
