Posting photos of nursing babies online

On another board, a poster has a long siggy that includes a slideshow of nursing babies from her playgroup. Another poster took offense at it and there has been quite the debate over the appropriateness of the siggy. I posted a message inviting people here to discuss that issue, and I hope that one of the posters from that particular playgroup comes here, at least so we can see what the siggy looks like. I'm having a hard time forming coherent thoughts today, LOL! So don't worry if I don't come back to debate the issue with you, I'm trying to get out of the office so I can go home & sleep.
As "Linda Richmond" (aka Mike Myers) from SNL would say, "talk amongst yourselves."

I don't think it's interesting as much as timely. You read about pregnancy during pregnancy, not 3 years later. Same with breastfeeding. Although there are lots of regulars here whose kids weaned long ago.
FWIW, I have a preschooler AND I'm still nursing. What category does that put me in?

<<Well... to be honest... they don't make me uncomfortable at all, in fact, I don't really care. But... I do understand why other people might be. I guess I'm playing the devil's advocate a bit. >>
Cool! I understand that others might be too, I just like to get to the bottom of "why."

Here's one article on the harmful ingredients in formula.
This isn't a support board. This is a debate board. This is where we come when we are not feeling vulnerable, where we squeeze ourselves into those big girl panties and acknowledge that no body owns our emotions, but ourselves. It's where we try to see our biases and learn from others.
I really liked that and thought it was worth repeating!

And please note that Carolyn is saying COULD be harming, not IS HARMING.

<<But.. it's not the formula that increases the risk. It's the fact that it is something other than breastmilk. You have to attribute the increase/decrease of risk to the thing that is doing the work, so to speak. >>
Correct. It's NOT BREASTFEEDING that raises risks. However, anything you choose to feed your child other than human milk does contain ingredients that the baby's body is not prepared to digest, and it lacks many things that are in breastmilk (and anything in breastmilk has to be there for a reason, right?)

"Cool! I understand that others might be too, I just like to get to the bottom of "why.""
My original post on this topic explained in great detail and it was complained about and deleted. Why? I used no sarcasam, wasn't attacking ANY individuals,(I don't even know anyone in the tag,how could I single them out and attack them?)
;)
Thanks, Mary-my-breastfeeding-experience-twin!
I always say "could" or "can", not "is" or "does" because much of it depends on the various genetic risk factors a baby is born with.
