Now with my 10 months old baby and his 4 and a half elder brother....sometimes we do the tandem and it is amazing!!!!! I love my motherhood and breastfeeding!Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07381941099671821585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-290665471559733389.post-37199802144816746992012-05-18T05:37:29.474-07:002012-05-18T05:37:29.474-07:00I don't have kids. I have always believed in b...I don't have kids. I have always believed in breast feeding and like many people out there I used to believe breastfeeding beyond a certain age was "wrong" I couldn't tell you why back then. Then I read that same W.H.O article and when I thought about it realised how perverted my thinking had been. (not sexually perverted, but perverted from what is right and natural.) If you go to countries that are worse off they still breastfeed their kids to older ages and as you were saying about milk teeth. They're called milk teeth for a reason.<br /><br />This is typical patriarchal thinking. Men find breasts sexually attractive and many of them can't separate that thinking from the fact the breasts are primarily a source of food and nutrition to babies and yes, children too and women have been caught up in this thinking because we live in an age where society is saturated with sex and and it is becoming hard to distinguish a car from a hard on. (pardon the language I feel quite strongly about this.)<br /><br />If JP and I do have kids I'll be breastfeeding and whether JP likes it or not I will be following W.H.O recommendations because this is what is best for MY children and that is what we should all be striving to do.<br /><br />Bravo on this post, if anyone comments to me again in future I will be pointing out both this post and the W.H.O article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-290665471559733389.post-9167828644862811772012-05-17T10:04:04.139-07:002012-05-17T10:04:04.139-07:00It is the fact that you do not judge other mothers...It is the fact that you do not judge other mothers and that when you make your point you have strong evidence to support you that makes me applaud you. I may be medically unable to breast feed, but I hold nothing against those who choose to and who choose to do it for an extended time frame.Encandescenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613883239975522088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-290665471559733389.post-21071685168295221372012-05-11T18:33:32.110-07:002012-05-11T18:33:32.110-07:00rofl!
