I have to say I think it was poor judgement for her to go on national TV
about it. *Especially* when she lost custody of him temporarily
previously. What does she think she's accomplishing? Making EBF more
palatable for the nation? Hardly--that needs to start w/a 1 yo then a 2
yo and so on. No, I don't think one should hide the fact that they have
an older nursling, but why flaunt it like that when losing your child is
what's at stake. I find that to be extremely poor judgement. Now do I
think it was poor enough to merit losing custody? No I don't. But I
can't wrap my mind around what she must have been thinking! I feel very
sorry for that child.
