(Patricia wrote about an earlier post I made about the 10 "Signs" that it's
time to wean- all implying that it was a sexual experience because the
child was too old:
Lucy, I've seen this before.  Please don't take this so seriously!  We have
to be able to laugh at the exaggerations and ourselves or we will turn into
old frumps.  Smiling in SNJ, Pat)


Patricia,

I have many humorous quotes and cartoons about breastfeeding.  But this one
bothers me because I find that the underlying reason many women won't
consider breastfeeding, even when they know all the facts about why it is
so much better, is that they think of anything having to do with the
breasts as sexual.  They think breastfeeding more than a few months (or at
all) is equivalent to incest. I hate to see something being sent around
that perpetuates that misunderstanding.
