[...] One of my beefs with Kathryn’s editorial is that it was peppered with breastfeeding myths. If women believe the things that she believes, it is no wonder that so many of them choose not to breastfeed. She said that she “also wanted to give my boobs at least a chance to stay on my chest rather than dangling around on my stomach“, perpetuating the myth that breastfeeding makes your breasts sag (not true at all).

The oddest part about this to me is that I feel like it is mostly women who are blogging. I guess I know that is because I read mostly mom/family blogs but still. I was so thrown off by this I actually found it kind of amusing.
