Hmm, I'm going to have to watch this on catch up tomorrow! 
i've gone right off supernanny after this programme 
making that little girl wean in 2 days its true that her behaviour needed addressing, but supernanny coming out with all that crap about milk not being nutritious for etc. 
its stupid and uneducated stuff like that that perpetuates the view that there's something 'not normal' about breastfeeding, and it gets right on my wick!

Just watched it on Catch up, and...gah. Not impressed at all.
I downloaded it and watched it last night and I am not sure things were sorted out, I think they sorted out the little girl but not the 2 boys.
It wasn't so much the breastfeeding it was a control issue. The little girl was controlling her mother day and night. I am not too sure how old she was nearly 3 or she was 3? They were trying to get her off and from what I could see she adapted very well. I am 100% sure I couldn't cope with that and agree with what you they did. It is very easy for these little people to take control and think they are the boss, and I should know

Sorry i thought Jo was right.ok maybe making her wean in 3 days was harsh, i did feel that was just rushed because of the time frame of the programme which is wrong frankly.
However i did agree with what she said and why she felt it needed to stop.
I dont have any problem with breastfeeding at all, i wanted to breastfeed Hayden but Jo is right there is no
need for a 3 yr old to be brestfeeding every 3 hours and still co sleeping to feed through the night.
That was the mums last baby and i think part of it was her not wanting to let go..but her 3 yr old was being treated like baby thats not gonna do her any favours when it comes to going to nursery! Also yes part of it was the little girl controlling her mum, which was causing a lot of stress in the house and affecting the mums relationship with the boys.

the mum wanted to stop so I can see why SN did it (though I am not a fan of hers in general), but 3 days was waaay too fasyt. And SN was talkig out of her arse about there being no nutritional value to it at that age. Sadly all that programme did was just reinforce the belief that breastfeeding past the age of 1 is wrong and creates clingy children.
However I think that family had loads of problems and the breastfeeding was the least of them.I was more concerned about the mother slapping the child round the face and the way the dad talked to his kids. At last with the breastfeeding the little girl was getting some positive attention.

i love supernanny i think it is so entertaining and dont no how they can let there children get so bad.
I like her tecnechs tho sometimes they are harsh but u have to be a little bit harsh to get the job done.
Im a breeastfeeder tho longest i wud do it id 2 yrs but only be allowed 1 or 2 milks a day hopefully b fully on solids by then tho. It was like watching that breastfeedin progrmme few weeks ago who could feed another persons child my partner would go mad to see some 1 esle feedin my little 1 or me feedin some 1 esles unless it is for the hospital.
But if you want your child to give up a dummy n stuff the best way to do it is wait out side for the bin man and make them cuck it away themselfs so they no it has deffeently gone. But a child only nos what the child is taught!!!

I was kinda watching it and missed the bit where she struck the child.
However i am gonna say programs that harp on about breastfeeding has no nutritional value after such an age blah blah blah does reinforce the view of it being 'wrong' after a certain age. These really do not help at all.
But that woman really was only breastfeeding the way she was due to her being her last baby etc and she and her husband had issues also, and she used the breastfeeding as a barrier instead of addressing those problems.
I do agree that it was slightly harsh to take her off within a matter of days but TBH the little girl didnt seem to bothered with not having any and the mother agreed so the end goal was achieved.

I think she was trying to say that breastfeeding at that age holds no more nutritional value than a decent meal could give her, One of my best friends is a nanny and we took the kids to the park yesterday we were discussing this supernanny and she said the same thing, she has been taught that after 1 year breastfeeding is no more nutritonal than what they should be getting from 3 meals a day and snacks. She doesnt think its wrong to continue or anything but we both agreed that a 3 year old breast feeding every 3 hours is unnecessary.
To be fair though i have done some reading on extended nursing and have learned that the fats and calcium content in breastmilk increases after 1 year so it does continue to be a nutritional source and also protects against allergies and continues to build up immunity.extended nursing facts
So it does seem a shame that in this country our childcare students are being taught that it is no longer any good after 1!

Plus, people don't see the problem about the whole nutrition thing with formula 
My cousin is 3 is December and still has a bottle each day, she doesn't "need" it, it's hardly going to contain much nutritional value either, but she still gets it, and no harm done. That little girl did seem to be taking the mick with the BF and all, but it wasnt the fact she was BF that was the problem, it was the mother's lack of boundaries...and as beanie says the fact the mother was slapping her what a load of conflicting messages that child was getting....
