Re: Breastfeeding debate on Dr. Phil Friday

[Guest guest]

Yea, I think they said she doesn't have children. Maybe there are

some problems/bitter feelings there and they are surfacing in this

unreasonable reaction to b/f.

Maybe doctor phil will pick up her problems and offer her some free sessions to

get over her issue with something so natural and necessary. It's a matter of

health and well being for both mother and child. How could anyone intelligently

argue with that, much less a woman?

I just found the whole tone of her argument amusing.. " it's not

attractive " ..well, there are a heck of a lot of people out there I don't

find attractive but I don't expect them to sit at home just because I

think so! LOL!

Yeah, She couldn't get any type of intelligent response as to why she's against

NIP besides that she feels its 'unattractive'...

And no, she doesn't have children.

Alison, extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, non-vaccinating sahm

to 2 wonderful girls:

Calista (2-13-99) and Ursula (12-22-02)

That was the most frustrating show to watch! I just *loved* the one

woman's analogy comparing a mother bfing in public to a waitress

with low rise jeans bending over in front of you during a meal and

having her butt fall out of her pants. Someone's nasty butt crack

is a far cry from my feeding my baby. People turned breasts into

sexual objects, Mother Nature and babies know what they are really

for.

I wish they would have had a better representative for bfing because

that lady wasn't doing much debating.

No kidding! I was yelling at the tv about how I thought that her hair was

extremely unflattering and I found it very unattractive, should she not be

allowed in public!!???!!??

I have to say that I was impressed that they picked a woman who seemed

intelligent to be on the pro nip side. She wasn't very combative, but she was

much easier to like than the moron they picked for the other side! The pro NIP

mom actually had some intelligent things to say, she wasn't just emotional, I

felt that she made some good points and that people would be more receptive to

her.

I agree, but at least she came back a little toward the end and said

something about if more women bfed in public that would help to

normalize it so everyone wouldn't be so shocked.

Oh well, any one of us on this group could have stuck it to that *itch

a lot better than she did!!!!
