Agreed 100%, the pro-breastfeeding movement on the whole is a great movement that attacked some really bad medical advice from last century. But it has gone way too far, to the point that women feel ashamed or guilty for not being able to breast feed their child.
My wife had difficulties breastfeeding our daughter and ended up doing exclusive pumping for over a year. It was a huge strain on her, both mentally and physically. Then she still felt guilty for not being able to actually breast feed our daughter directly. Any woman that is able to provide any amount of breastmilk for any amount of time is an absolute saint. Women who can't or choose not to are also amazing and no one should be shaming or second guessing their choice on how to best take care of themselves and their child.
