A note from the author of the extended breastfeeding article......I thought
you all might be interested in her comments, and appreciate some sense of her
direction. I know I did. Thanks. Melinda Myers
If it allays any concerns about sensationalism or me simply not getting it, I
have nothing but respect for women who are committed to nursing their
children. I also am a former editor of Mothering Magazine. I don't think
there's any intention on the part of the New York Times to make this a
salacious story. There's been so much reinforcement recently from various
studies on the benefits of breastfeeding, and so much uproar over the mother
in Champaign who lost custody temporarily, that it simply seems like the
right time to meet the community and the experts in support of extended
breastfeeding.
More info than you perhaps wanted, but...
