I think Dr Masterson is on the show specifically to stir up
controversy and ratings. I was a guest on the show discussing nursing
beyond a year - in an earlier segment of the same show she says flat
out that Caesarean is a woman's right and that vaginal birth can be
just as risky to babies. She also said that nursing beyond 10 months -
which is how long she says she nursed her son - is for the mother and
that it can make clingy children.
Take what she says with a grain of salt - share your comments with the
show or just don't watch it.
I did love being on the show and discussing this topic - Dr. Sears was
wonderful and another IBCLC was a guest as well.
