Hello Lactnetters, I suppose this may be along the same lines as the Jerry Springer letter. After a 29 hr. delivery earlier this evening (I am a doula), I got into a huge heated discussion with a midwife, OB nurse, MD and LC about the impact of "crazy breastfeeding weirdos" (let's call them CBFWs). The discussion was about how the individuals got this way to begin with (and if being nursed into toddlerhood was part of the "problem" / or if being fed ABM was the problem), and whether or not these individuals have any impact (positive or negative) on promoting breastfeeding. If you don't know the people I'm referring to, they are the one's that Instant Message you (if you have AOL) at 3am, because your personal profile mentions the word "breastfeeding". They are usually offensive adult males OBSESSED with everything surrounding the subject of BF. The midwife in our discussion group swore that she came accross a study that stated a name for this disorder, and that the study linked it to breastfeeding and sexual abuse. The OB nurse thought she had heard that boys that BF after age 2 develop this. The most heated part of our discussion was in response to a statement that if you are "pro-breastfeeding" it always helps the cause....even if your opinions aren't based in wanting what's best for baby....anyone have an opinion about this??? any studies out there about CBFWs? now I need some sleep Adriana Samargia Kaufman, PLA
