That's a very good, very rare thing. The great thing about the Wii fit thing is that I can commit to realistically losing about 7lbs before the end of next month! Ha.

People are disgusted by the vid because we live in a society where nobody breastfeeds older children. Plenty of people in this country feel just as disgusted at looking at a three day or three month old being fed... I think the issue with that woman is the obvious emotional dependency involved. I don't see anything perverse in it, just... unfortunate. I don’t think wii fits understand pregnancy though, do they?

I hear ya on the weight loss! I'm counting on it. My Wii Fit said nasty things to me last time I got up on it and made me cry. :-p I thought it such a shame that there’s no support for special needs babies and boobmilk… even if you could express it and add powdered nutrients somehow it’d be better than that awful bottled gunk.

Glad the chocolate thing worked. The Fledgling got told that if she continued to bite, no more boob. She was speaking in sentences at 9 months, so there was no doubt she understood and was just being perverse, the little bugger. I was crushed when the Nestling wouldn't breastfeed, what with him being a preemie and Special Needs and Sensory Affective and all that, we barely managed to get any nutrients down his neck, let alone breast milk. Breast feeding was brilliant for weight loss, though, I lost 60 lbs. in 6 weeks after giving birth to the Fledgling, thanks to breast feeding. Yes I did gain 70 lbs. whilst pregnant with her, I was fucking well hungry. Children can, upon occasion, be reasoned with ;) Just occasionally, mind. Glad the chocolate thing worked.

Nice one :) Jo- If it's not a perverse thing though, why on earth do most people find this video revolting? I can't figure it out! It's disturbing on some level, even to those who love the idea of breastfeeding. I'd love to know why. Voodoolady- Technically though, you could say that a talking kid would benefit more from not drinking from a bottle... their speech development would benefit from the boob, given the extra need for facial muscle workouts. It makes sense, but it's just weird in this society. Baino- I do feel very sorry for the woman in that clip. Letting go of that connection is extremely difficult and in some ways I don't blame her at all. Her poor boobs must be in ribbons, though. Warrior- I'm a huge believer in 'milk is for baby cows' all right. I don't trust farmers not to be lacing their cattle with hormones. I figure this disassociation stems from the 50's when powdered milk first appeared and you were scorned if you couldn't afford it. It's all just a nasty throwback. Unstranger- Excellent point. I can't help but wonder if yer wan is now mortified that she did that interview, given the response. It really is each to their own.

Breastfeeding carries no restrictions accept that of supply. Demand for milk is always met, a perfect functioning system that works regardless. Issues that people have are for them to resolve. Feeding a child for as long as the child requires is wholly a matter for the mother: no one else. Opinions are of no consequence unless the mother allows them entry.

My bro has 5 or 6 all breastfed, don't see the problem or the issue. We are the only animal on the planet that takes another animals milk and gives it to our own, and yet you are all creeping out about humans drinking human milk. Can't you see how perverse our society is when we are creeped out by that. As for the 'primitive cultures'? Teach me what is more civilised, feeding your child cows milk through a plastic bottle, our feeding your child your own milk and creating a strong spiritual emotional supportive bond? You can be sure that kid won't be looking to join an army and kill sand monkies in the middle east. I have two kids, they were breastfed.
