I've been breastfeeding for 4.5 years out of the last 5 years. I took a 6 month break while pregnant with Aroha. I breastfed Anahera for a year, so add that in, it's a total of 5.5 years out of 10.5years

I have many friends who have been unable to breastfeed (for many reasons - from medical through to lack of support) and none of them would have found such a photo offensive. The twisted minds go to show why their stat's are so low!
You know, it's funny though. I'm seen as something of a goody goody. I rarely curse. I'm something of a Pollyanna, even. YET, it is others who find that kind of thing obscene. To me it's really beautiful. A little kid playing mommy!
and 3% at 5 months! Appalling!! No wonder they have such poor breastfeeding rates when they have such terrible attitudes to breastfeeding. Our stats at 6 months read like this ....
In the past four years the rates for babies which are reported as being fully breastfed at six months old are :
* 19 - 21 percent of European and other babies * 17 - 18 percent for Pacific babies * 13 - 14 percent for Maori babies

People have filthy minds.

People are shallow, and obsene themselves.
It's more a reflection on themselves, not the simple innocent beauty of images such as a little person playing Mummy.
