Often that might be true and arguably in this case it might even seem likely, as she seems to have been seeking exposure of the issue without really considering whether or not her child will want this plastered all over the Internet, which for me is the bigger issue, but really, it's not possible to know for sure and I tend to be wary when stories like this gain mass exposure. Often latched onto by anti-breastfeeders and the formula defence league and used as an example of why no one should breastfeed past 6 months (against every piece of medical literature ever written on the subject which roughly say 6 month minimum but preferably 1 year+).


WHY have I spent half of my day defending breastfeeding? Urgh. Maybe I am a ****ing feminist

If she wants to go down to her child's school and squeeze her breast through the school railing at break time, that's up to her. She's made it my business and so I've decided I think it's odd.

Maybe you need a hobby, TS. Maybe this woman needs a hobby too...

I have a hobby, I'm a hardcore gamer 4lyf, but I work ALL THE ****ING TIME and you can't game whilst pretending to make coffee in the back office. All you can do is post the same opinions on the same sorts of threads on TiBB, forever, like a twisted Internet Groundhog day
