Lara Croft look-alike says yes to extended breastfeeding

Real-life glamour model and official Lara Croft look-alike, Nell McAndrew, has said that she will defy the 'dirty looks' and continue to breastfeed her 2.5 year old son.

"I get negative comments all the time, but that's their problem," she told the Daily Mirror.

"Breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world - and it's so good for my son that I don't see any reason to stop.

"I would never tell other women they have to breastfeed because it's down to individual choice.

"And by the same token if a mum wants to carry on breastfeeding until their child is five, six or seven that that's fine too."

As a fomer undies model and former Playboy centrefold, McAndrew knows that getting your boobs out in this culture is often encouraged if it is for the pleasure of men. She says, however, that now her breasts have a different purpose:

"Now they have a different function, to feed my baby - you suddenly realise that's really what they're there for."

Breastfeeding is fine and should be encouraged just as long as these lactivists would have enough common sense and respect for other people to cover up when done in public however with this idiotic, blissfully ignorant and wholly selfish statment I firmly believe this dingbat simplton model has neither in her possession!
