Please don't be flippant about World Breastfeeding Week. In the Third World this is a crucial infant health issue.

Its awful. World breastfeeding week! Could the world sink much lower than it obviously already has. I'm no prude but everything nowadays seems to have hit rock bottom.

and WHY was this ever made in the first place?

Horrible, Horrible, Horrible.

How utterly distasteful.
- Ronald Whitten, Chesterfield England
Is this woman not already over-represented in the media? do we really have to see her naked breastfeeding her flock?! The sculpture would have been far more admirable if it was just named after motherhood in general, rather than that home-wrecking "saint".
- Judy, London
She either looks miserable and exhausted or in some sort of trace, or both. I agree, only the babies heads seem to be supported - artist licence maybe.
- Isabel, Woking
I'm surprised there's no halo and wings on the sculpture.
- Joey Schultz, London
Where is the cushion to support her back or the heads of her twins? I hope people don't take this sculpture seriously - the image of 'the Mother' feeding her babies looks too detached and mechanical, rather than tender and loving which is what it really is.
