I couldn't get the link to work even through fb. I'd like to read it - would you mind posting again? Thx!

I did some googling and found this:

- Kramer explains how the media misrepresented his comments.

I am glad to see this; thank you for sharing.

I really hope this will make the rounds in the lactivist community, at least, because, as PatioGardener noted in the other thread, snide comments wondering about his funding source are out of line, especially considering that he is a top notch researcher and is one of the few doing truly rigourous science in the area of breastfeeding.

I'm glad to see the article. I was surprised (I guess I shouldn't be?) that only 3% of mothers in the UK are still exclusively breastfeeding at 5 months. I didn't realize it was so few.
