A guy I used to work with brought in and showed a picture of his wife breast feeding one of his kids. One of the other guys commented, “Cute monkey. Ugly tit.” I guess you can imagine the first thought to cross my mind when I saw that cover. ---

Huh. Most people embarrassed about being tagged in photos while drinking mean a rather different beverage (not to mention age group). ---

From the article: > [@](#): > > While pregnant, Dionna Ford, who lives in Kansas City, Mo., watched a video of a British woman breastfeeding her 7-year-old daughter. Ford thought she could never do the same—until she discovered how difficult it was to wean her own son off breast milk. “After six months, I decided I’d wait until he turned 1,” she says. “But after my baby turned a year old, he was still a baby—not talking, barely walking—and I wondered why I’d stop now.” I have a girl that will be 1 next month and she barely shows interest in walking. We aren’t talking about weaning her (done with that), we’re talking to her doctor about _if we need to be worried about her not walking._ Are you going to solve that walking problem by running around the room with your shirt off, like getting the dog to run after a treat in your hand? ---

Our pediatrician encouraged my wife to nurse our kids until they were one, which she was happy to do. But IMO when the kid starts asking for it in full sentences you need to start cutting him off. ---

I think the picture would’ve been far less controversial if she were sitting, and her son was in her lap. ---

From what I read in the article, it’s more than just nursing. Basically, proponants of “attachment parenting” (advocated by Dr. Sears) don’t even believe in strollers for your kids because it puts the mother too far away. They should always be touching. Which probably explains his lack of walking and talking at 1 year. StG ---
