SDA i find this comment and indeed this whole thread laughable, especially started by someone who claims to have a child themselves. Anyone who has spent time with a baby knows that it takes longer than five minutes for the child to stop suckling.....be on the breast or on a teet.

as for your comment about taking the child to the toilets to be breastfeed....i think that is a disgusting thing to say.......and your counter claim that toilets are cleaner this days. absolute nonesense..... toilets contain germs.... it is not healthy for a child to be feed in a toilet...... it is however good for a child to be breast feed.... as someone has rightly said, breasts are not meant to be a sexual toy,(although they are used as such at times) they are meant to feed babies...... and children who are breastfeed (some claim) have a healthier immune system and a healthier bond with their mother.

when i, eventually, have a child, i will breastfeed it (god willing) and i will do it in public if the child is hungry.... i will not flaunt it, but i will also not be shoved into some corner to do it

found this article about the benefits of breast feeding your child http://http://www.nctpregnancyandbab...asp?article=85
clearly it shows that breast feeding is good for the child, and as someone has already pointed out you can't stay stuck in doors (which is unhealthy for mother and child)
