I can understand why it's controversial. From my point of view it can be
useful because everyone can see how ridiculous it is, we know that children
do wean on their own eventually....Harvey Pincher's don't really exist.

I think it's funny because sometimes mums of enthusiastic toddler and older
breastfeeders wonder if their child ever will wean, to me the skits look
like they might be a mother's daydream wonderings of what would happen if
they never did....
