To be fair, it was quite a dump, I'm strangely proud.

Welcome back

What was the link?

I've been changing my avatar since last Wednesday.  Maybe the site is playing up and that is why it is taking so long.

Thanks, I actually wanted an honest discussion about this pic.

Click.

I can't say that I ahve any strong feelings on it one way or the other.  If that's what she wants to do then let her do it.  Doesn't affect me in any way.

Caz, ah ok. Just noticed a few odd things with the new forum like missing icons etc.

Glad i can save a quote but can't actualy paste them!

I can paste on Firefox.

As SuperCaz says, I'm not sure I have strong opinions either way on the particular parenting method.... I don't think it would be for me (were I to ever have children!), but fair enough if that works for her.

As for the Time Magazine cover, I think it is intended to shock, whether or not everyone's shocked by it, or not, is perhaps another matter.

But I do think it's quite exploitative of the child, which is what concerns me most; I read an article over the weekend on an American website, not stating any position on the subject itself, but more congratulating Time Magazine on the publicity coop they'd generated for themselves by placing this image on the cover.

I don't like it.

Breast milk is for human babies. He should be weaned. I wouldn't like it if he had a bottle swinging from his mouth either.

But it's nothing to do with me and if I saw it I wouldn't say anything.

I just think people who allow children to feed from them until their children are well beyond weaning age should ask themselves if they have an issue with their children growing up.

He looks happy enough, {wonder if she has an age limit }

I don't have kids but I have to admit it makes me uncomfortable.  I think babies need breast milk, but when you get to his age, I think i'm right in saying there is no physiological need for it (is that right?), and for the kid still to want it, I think they're being encourgaed to be overly dependent on their mothers, which is the mother's issue.  It strikes me that the mother is being selfish and can't let go, to an extent.  I've never had kids though, so what do I know.  I bet that kid gets teased though.  I'd hate to remember now, that I was sucking on my Mum's breasts when I was old enough to remember everything else, ewwwwww (if that makes sense)

Have you seen the Jim Carrey film when he takes over from a baby who is being breast fed in the park? hahahahaha.  So funny!

I imagine there are not many blokes on here that wouldn't mind a go!!!
