Film & TV Extraordinary Breastfeeding

[k69atie]

This is on channel 4 tonight, i find it disturbing. What do you think?

Everyone knows that breast is best, but for how long? The World Health Organisation recommends that all children are breastfed until at least two years. In Britain we think that's downright weird. But this forthright, revealing and heart-warming film meets a group of women who believe in continuing to breastfeed for as long as their children want.



Veronika is still breastfeeding her seven-year-old daughter, while her eldest has asked if she can be breastfed as a present for her tenth birthday. Dolores is breastfeeding her son, who is nearly four. Dolores and her husband are about to adopt a little girl from China and her greatest wish is to breastfeed her adopted daughter. Thirty-eight-year-old Sophie is tandem-feeding two-year-old twins Zac and Molly on demand, and is feeling the strain. And Kirsty, who works for an organisation that helps teach young mums how to breastfeed, is breastfeeding her daughter at nearly two and is very concerned that new laws could prevent breastfeeding in public places.

[Cown]

I've always wondered how it feels to get the milk sucked outta ones tits... Does a vacum build up in the breast and shit? Someone here's gotta be a mother!

Simple question, WHY? Is there something more natural then breastfeed your baby?

 

[SiGh]

[Cooper]

U shouldn't really be breastfed past 2 IMO.

I saw the progarm. Breastfeeding a 7 year old is fucking weird. The women in the pic has massive tits.
