    OM*G ok I just read the article and I'm sorry but Rabbi Shmuley IMHO is a TOOL!

    With comments like "In the end, there are two effects of breast-feeding that we often refuse to acknowledge. One is the de-eroticization of a woman's body, as her husband witnesses one of the most attractive parts of her body serving a utilitarian rather than romantic purpose."

    And

    "This is not to say that breast-feeding should not be practiced. It is instead to say that it should always remain subordinate to the romantic and passionate needs of a marriage."

    Ah..NO, I'm sorry but my baby's nutritional needs are definitely first.

    And another of many

    "Let me be clear. I agree that breast-feeding is usually the best thing for a baby. But the principal form of marital breakdown in our time is a loss of erotic desire between husband and wife, and if couples find that breast-feeding is adding to a sense of alienation, there is always the bottle."

    If a man has issue and feels alienated by his wife using her breasts to feed their baby, which I'm pretty sure is what they are there for, then I think he probably needs to seek help for his insecurities, which are actually the problem in a relationship like this, not breast feeding.

    Grrr! Sadly people probably listen to this man and take his advice. I think he has some "issues" of his own that need some attention.
