Thread to discuss it. It's on ITV in about half an hour. As far as I can tell the 'yes'es are on 75%

I don't think they will mention the poll.

It won't be the freak angle they are going for and won't be the result that they expected.

I really hope they do mention it though.

hercules1 · 30/01/2008 08:08

I agree with sherby. They're not mentioning it all.

sandcastles · 30/01/2008 08:31

Oh so that is great 'journalism'...don't include the vote outcome unless it is in your favour....

robinredbreast · 30/01/2008 08:31

really hope they do mention the poll and do not go at it from a freakshow pov

yes we are at nearly 76%

purplemonkeydishwasher · 30/01/2008 08:32

robinredbreast · 30/01/2008 08:32

if they treat it as sensitively as they do the guy who could "drop down dead at any minute" then we're in for a treat!

OP posts:
purplemonkeydishwasher · 30/01/2008 08:40

apparently extreme breastfeeding is BFing a child over 2. I guess it;s the next stage from extended BFing??
what a bunch of tossers.

minishreddie · 30/01/2008 08:40

OMG...It's like "The day today"...but more bizarre!

StealthPolarBear · 30/01/2008 08:40

No extreme sports involved, apparently

Hulababy · 30/01/2008 08:41

Not being mentioned but on their homepage it does say it is due to be on:

8.35-9.25am LK Today

Lorraine Kelly presents with a blend of special guests, topical chat and fashion.

Ditch the debt with Martin Lewis
Extreme breast feeding

BumperliciousIsOneHotMother · 30/01/2008 08:41

I'm emailing to complain about their poll. I don't need their judgement to inform me whether or not it is appropriate to feed my baby.

this is so boring
DS seems quite entertained though!

According to this page Extreme Breastfeeding Will be on between 8.35-9.25am and after a segment called 'Ditch the debt with Martin Lewis' so another 30 minutes to go.

They'll have to ditch the poll results, as it won't match the title and the biased report they will have done for the TV.
