When I read John Rosemond’s article last week I knew his facts about sleep expert Dr McKenna were wrong (seems that is happening a LOT with articles discussing any aspect of AP at the moment). I am delighted to see McKenna has rebutted her…e http://cosleeping.nd.edu/controversies/in-response-to-john-rosemond/ and put the record straight. I use Dr McKenna’s work to support my views in my book, so I knew Rosemond’s article was full of falsehoods. I urge those writing about parenting issues to please check their facts because parents are listening!

I wasn’t able to breastfeed for long but I do think that if a baby is hurngy then it’s sad for people to expect the mum to take a child to a bathroom or somewhere else to feed when the people who are complaining wouldn’t do that. I don’t think there is a right age. I think the natural wearing age of humans is around 7, when we lose our milk teeth. I think it’s sad that within our culture there are so many people who are offended at something that is so natural. Because breasts are constantly portrayed as sex objects’, it’s understandable. I just hope my son grows up to realise the difference and what it means to a mum to breastfeed her child. We all need to do our best to be supportive of other parent’s choices. I can think of far worse things a parent could be doing to their child! Time magazine have definitely chosen photos to cause controversy!
