These are the opening few sentences from a lead article in the life and
entertainment section (Globe Saturday) of the Globe and Mail for Saturday
March 17.

"Lynn Morley is an 'attached' parent.  After a miserable experience trying
to breastfeed her first child, the British Columbia mother of three was
determined to succeed the next time around.

"Not only did she breast-feed (sic) her two youngest well past toddlerhood,
she transported them in a carrier strapped to her body.  For almost six
years, she spent most nights in a double bed with whichever child she was
nursing as her husband slumbered away on the ohter side of the room.

"For Morley, the experience was exhilarating, allowing a physical intimacy
with her children that she never had.  In fact, she can't remember the last
time she hugged her parents, even as a child."

The story then goes on to say how we are so hung up on not being physically
intimate with our children because of the fear of being labelled child
abusers, etc.

Anyhow, thought you might be interested in this.
