I remember my wife crying saying she was a bad mother, and the baby hates her, and that she is so stupid to think she could do this. It was heartbreaking.
Same here. My wife's milk never came in. She had 3 different lactation nurses tell her "don't worry, it'll happen, just keep trying". Not once did anyone talk to her about the fact that it doesn't happen for some women. Not once did they provide support for the increasing likelihood that it wouldn't happen. It was just "keep trying, the milk will come".
I don't discount the benefits of breastfeeding, but I think our medical community needs to take a step back a little and think about this article and the other side effects of all that pressure they're putting on mothers.
Reminds me a little of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Not exactly what OP was describing, but follows bucks the traditional magic girl trope.
