bionic boobs

So we have just landed from a taxi, flight and bus. At risk of sounding like im bragging about my 4 month old im not! Im going to brag about my boobs!! Ok so my little one latched on at the beginning of the 2 hour flight, and stayed exactly that way for 2 hours.. meaning the following:

I read grazia and instyle cover to cover with not a peep from him.. (ok so my 2 other toddlers were entertained by their new erasable pens and colouring books for most (ish) of the flight. But theyre not breastfeeding... I digress...!
He didnt move! For 2 hours! which made me think... he's not really asleep but comfy, calm, has no sore ears, isnt hungry..which means that I am comfy, calm and rather pleased that people havent even noticed that I have a baby on board!
how would the flight have been had I not got my bionic boobs?? What clever little things they are, doing all that at once. And he wasnt feeding, it was for all those other reasons he stayed latched on.
Wow
remind me again why everyone doesnt at least try breastfeeding??

the babes visit ohbaby!!

BMJ

Im sure you have heard the latest "haha told u all so" article on breastfeding published by the BMJ...claiming that six months of exclusive breastfeeding ”could harm babies,”. Sadly most of the journalists commenting appear not to have read the article....! The point of the study in the BMJ was to question the timing for the introduction of solid foods, and argue against the widely recommended 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding with no other solids or liquids. Fortunately, the Unicef UK was on the ball, and issued an excellent rebuttal.
The BMJ article was pointing out the lack of data on the subject of early weaning, but a huge issue with their data (as they point out) is that the numbers of babies being fed exclusively until 6 months is so small that they cannot compare and study this group as a group... sadly...
The study was a study of studies per se, and unfortunately the media just love to stir up a controversial issue like breastfeeding, and the title of the BMJ article was right down their alley.. sadly it didnt reflect the content of the research...
