"Also, Tuesday night at 9pm EDT on the TV show "Judging Amy" (i think its
on
CBS) they are addressing a mom in court for breastfeeding a 6 year old-
Maybe
we could discuss our feelings on that and the "Benefits of Extended
Breastfeeding" next week April 22."
This is a rerun of a show that aired a few months ago. If memory serves,
this is a modified version of a story that hit the news about a 6 y.o.boy
who told his teacher that he still nursed. Then as a result of her
reaction, told her that his mother 'forced' him to nurse. Maybe someone on
the list remembers the details of this story more accurately than I do.
Anyway, the show has a social worker who clearly thinks that BFing a 6 y.o.
is odd, if not actually perverted. I don't think "Judge Amy" agreed.
