Funny how something that God created to nourish our children naturally, is now looked at as the unnatural method. I personally BF my son until he was 18 months and would have gone longer but started having contractions.

I think the wording could have been so much better to portray what I think they were trying to portray. It is a shame that the message may get missed due to marketing.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220004667538143849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-25431190343744472542012-05-11T20:28:44.978-04:002012-05-11T20:28:44.978-04:00I can't wait to read the actual article!

I do hope this fosters some good discussions though, and gets the idea of BF past 1 year to be more mainstream. <br /><br />And, regarding the fostering of mommy wars: I think all parents (Meegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218498742250493159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14032761.post-79054180810503903702012-05-11T11:51:40.600-04:002012-05-11T11:51:40.600-04:00I should probably start by saying that I haven'...I should probably start by saying that I haven't read the article, so I don't know what is actually TIME's stand on the issue; however, I believe that MOST people won't read the article and will only see the cover and form their opinions about AP and BFing based on that.
