"Women should not feel guilty if they are unable to breastfeed, but they should feel guilty if they are unwilling to do so, and they should be intellectually honest enough to know the difference." - Elizabeth Gene

This is a group for parents who breastfeed, wish to breastfeed, or wish they had. If you are offended by the above statement, then this group is not for you. (And if you are offended by the above statement, go back, read it again and really think about what Elizabeth Gene is saying. Be honest.)

Whether you want advice, want to share bf'ing pics, problems or triumphs or just want to chat to likeminded people, please join!

It is for uk based parents. 

A few rules -

1. This is a community for support, please make sure you behave appropriately.

2. Venting is fine, but personal attacks against an identifiable person, (whether on vox or not) are not.

3. when joining please make an introductory post about yourself and your thoughts on bf/ bf'ing experiences.
