Where did we get the information that Michael Jordan was breastfed for
three years?  I have seen it mentioned so many times and have reiterated
it myself a few times, without actually knowing the source.  My husband,
an incredible breastfeeding supporter, a huge basketball fan, and a
happy father of a breastfed 2+ year old, is also a bit cynical and asked
me how I knew this about Michael Jordan.  He challenged me to find out
if this is really true (that he was breastfed for three years) or if it
were a "Lactation Urban Myth."

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Our "Loving Support" research with WIC mothers in the US told us that
although they thought it was nice those famous people breastfed they
were
more impressed when they heard from women who had breastfed famous
people...in other words let me hear from Michael Jordan's mother, not
his
wife.  His mother is the one who had the life most like theirs and made
a
difference in her childs life.
