I agree though that it's more about her than her baby's needs, but then lots of mothers decide to breastfeed or decide not to breastfeed for their own personal reasons, so as long as the baby isn't actually being harmed and is healthy I don't see why that would be such a big issue.

I think it's more the issue it's the "because we can" mentality rather than encouraging the one who actually gave birth to breastfeed the child. It's always better the child is breastfed without any sort of medications in our system. They may technically be safe (and even that can change with research), but the milk is always better from a mother who has not been medicated prior or during.
