Umm, she was not promoting breastfeeding or helping women in any way. Her "motherhood" show was awful! She acted like a teenager, rolling her eyes and perpetuating myths about breastfeeding. She was rude and condescending to her guests, and made it seem like anyone who breastfeeds past 6 months is a freak. Then she went on to insult stay-at-home moms. Work, stay at home, whatever - it's your choice, no need to bash the ones who don't do the same.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you, though - who does she think watches (watched) her show?

I'm not a fan of Tyra and I find her kind of insane but there really was nothing erotic or terrifying about this....if anything her show, however cheesy, hopefully helped some BF mothers out.

I don't think it was terrifying or erotic, I think Tyra was providing a Lactation Consultant visit for as many women as watch her show (thousands? millions?). She asked good questions, she got good information. It was a talk show effort at public education, and it was more than moderately successful, IMHO. Go Tyra!
