RE: My poor Best Friend...
I'm often amazed by behavior like this. Hope your BF made it through okay and that you, her other friends, and family gave her the support she needed.
When I had my DD the first PP nurse I had asked me if I planned to BF, and whether I'd BF my son or not. When I mentioned I'd nursed him for 18 months her immediate comment was "Wow. That's excessive!" I hadn't even been in the room more than 15 minutes when she made that comment. Needless to say she and I didn't hit it off. Luckily she was the only nurse I had a problem with over the 4 days I was there. I made sure the other nurses and the hospital LC all knew my thoughts on that comment, and they all agreed it was inappropriate for her to say.
If I'd been a first time mom, a comment like that would have been much more traumatic.
