Here is an aritcle I read the other day that sort of , in a twisted way , gives a bit of ground to my claim about
Boobs mean sex, not food.
Mother allegedly kills baby while breast-feeding

OSHKOSH, Wis. - A 4-month-old girl died when her inebriated mother fell asleep on top of her while breast-feeding, prosecutors said.
Lorinda Hawkins told police she fell asleep about 15 minutes after she started breast-feeding the baby Feb. 23 because of her intoxication, a criminal complaint said. When she woke up about an hour later, the baby was pale and wasn't breathing, the complaint said.
Hawkins was charged Friday with one count of child neglect causing a death. If convicted as a repeat felony offender, she could be sentenced to 29 years in prison and fined $100,000.
High blood alcohol level
The 27-year-old ?- who was on probation for child neglect ?- had consumed six double-shot alcoholic beverages at a bowling alley, the complaint said. A toxicologist estimated her blood alcohol level ranged from .15 to .27 percent.
Her husband drove Hawkins and their 4-year-old daughter to the bowling alley and later brought them home, then went out drinking himself, according to the complaint. The baby was unresponsive when he returned an hour later, the complaint said.
Hawkins was on probation for neglect of the same child, and was prohibited from drinking alcohol and from having unsupervised contact with all four of her children at once, court documents show.
First of all....
why in the FCUK was the title " BREASTFEEDING" ? as if THAT is what killed this child? It was a DRUNK mother that killed this child.
And if her smothering him wouldnt have killed him, the alcohol content in her breast milk would have.
This **** really chapps my hide.
The media is making it out to be a warning against breast feeding with their choice of words.
Their choice of words stems from the idea that Boobs are sex not food.
Anyone worth their weight in SALT would have written the title appropriatly-
drunken mother smothers child
OR- Child suffocated by mothers body..
Those titles would have attracted attention too.. !! Since most writters are after the 'sale' and the attention their articles bring, there are MANY more ways they could have written this caption , that would not have been a slam to a breastfeeding mom.
The slam should have been against her drinking.. not her food choice.
