Well i wouldn’t call it exactly a debate but today as featured on GMTV Lorriane Kelly was chatting to ladies whom were all in some way concerned with extended breastfeeding.

There was an author of a book detailing about extended breastfeeding, a midwife and feeding expert and a mother whom is currently breasfeeding her 4 and a half year old daughter along with her younger child.

Now breasfeeding as a whole not just extended breastfeeding (not too sure what the definition of extended breastfeeding is , maybe over 2 years? ) is such an emotive subject that i think it;s impossible for either person ie of you are against or pro breastfeeding to get offended at some stage!

As parents we all want what is right for all our children, and it’s so easy to feel judged and insecure about how, what we are doing in relation to what society deems “the norm”. Personally i don’t  think people should be so quick to judge. I myself couldn’t breastfeed, for my own health reasons but i felt i was judged for bottle feeding. Some mothers feel they are judged for breastfeeding so whats up????

Did you see the show today?

What did you think?
