This would be the woman who says that extended nursing is for the mother, not the baby? The one who recommends putting sticking plasters on your breasts while pregnancy to prepare you for breastfeeding? The one who says small-breasted women will find their breasts get smaller due to breastfeeding & large-breasted women will sag? The one who sees the variations in the composition of breastmilk as a negative thing? The one who claims to have pinched a father's nipples to show him how much bfing hurts? Who claims that nipple confusion is a myth? Who says that co-sleeping is likely to lead to no sleep, tired parents & marital friction? Not helpful, imho. -- Hedgehog (used to be Deb) |

Fortunately, I didn't have to spend my own money on it - my mom sent it to me when I was pregnant (she'd seen a mention of the book somewhere, she hadn't read it either). I wasn't nearly as AP as I was then, but even then I thought, this woman is nuts... -- tristyn www.tristyn.net |

I read the book a long time ago and distinctly remember her being against co-sleeping but pro-BF. |

A nursing toddler continues to receive many of the benefits that bfing provides for babies. It's also a wonderful way to reconnect after a battle of wills :-). Have a look at http://www.kellymom.com/bf/bfextended/ebf-benefits.html and http://www.breastfeeding.co.uk/articles/newman20.html putting sticking plasters on your breasts while pregnancy to prepare you for breastfeeding? The one who says small-breasted women will find their breasts get smaller due to breastfeeding & large-breasted women will sag? The one who sees the variations in the composition of breastmilk as a negative thing? The one who claims to have pinched a father's nipples to show him how much bfing hurts? Who claims that nipple confusion is a myth? Who says that co-sleeping is likely to lead to no sleep, tired parents & marital friction? I read the book a long time ago and distinctly remember her being against co-sleeping but pro-BF. She *claims* to be pro-bfing, but says "While I agree that human milk is undoubtedly best for babies, we mustn't go overboard. The oft-quoted research findings represent statistical probabilities; breastfed babies sometimes contract these diseases too"...which is true, but it's not really a very pro-bf attitude, is it? A bit like "we know smoking causes cancer, but it's all statistics, non-smokers get cancer too, so we mustn't be too concerned about smoking" iyswim. And she displays a startling level of misinformation about breastfeeding, some of what she writes is astonishingly inaccurate, & even the most basic of research would have corrected it. But then if you didn't consider bfing important, you wouldn't bother doing the research, would you? :-| -- Hedgehog |

We have a daughter who would stop eating solid foods every time she got the flu. She had a bad case at least three times after she was 2 and before she stopped nursing (at 5 1/2). Each time, our reaction was "Thank god she is still nursing." I couldn't agree more. Gabe had tonsillitis about a month ago. He would not allow any food or drink past his lips, accepting only the breast. Had he not been nursing, I expect I would have been worrying a lot about trying to get Pedialyte and such into him, just to keep him hydrated. Breastmilk kept him not only hydrated but getting calories, as well as immune system help. -- tristyn www.tristyn.net |
