title: Doesn't the breast work anymore? A rant on the state of lactation advice today.
abstract: Grandmothers often find that their children parent differently, or get parenting advice different from what they themselves learned as young mothers. When that happens, it can give the grandmother a feeling that what she did as a mother was invalid. When I became a grandmother, I considered myself lucky. I was a practicing paediatric nurse-practitioner and teaching in a university; as new studies came along that suggested making changes in the way people parented, I could understand and accept them from a medical point of view without feeling invalidated as a mother.
