Here we go again ....an attention seeking Mum is raving about how good she feels about breastfeeding her 5 year old daughter in public .
She plans to carry on till her daughter is 7 , and yet her own family are saying it's wrong .
Since there is no evidence to support her theory that it's good for the girl , she insists it's her choice and anyone else can keep their opinions to themselves .
So what do you guys think ? |

" Bitty
Huh ?
Am I missing something ?
 "
Was a comedy sketch (quite revolting) where a grown man still wants to be breastfed and says 'bitty' constantly to his mother until she relents and lets him indulge. |

they say breast milk makes a child more intellegent.
so im guessing she is trying to create a super villain then (as most highly intellegent never turn out to be superheros. what did sheldon say? its amazing how many villains have advance doctorates. maybe they should rethink the enrollment procedure)
that said, yes, the child will be teased relentlessly, with it now being in the public domain.
jesus, kids get hassle for wetting the bed, so god knows what she will get for sucking on her moms tits.
does the breast still produce milk that long after childbirth? |

"Some women love the closeness. So I hear. It's hard for some women to move on.
It can't be good for the child though  "
yes your right .. i maybe could understand it more if little food around and was the only was of feeding the child. |

Oh er! Logical head tells me the natural progression of weaning ( and teeth) kinda suggests the nxt stage is solid foods and breast milk no longer needed as all the nutriants/ vitamins are available in a balanced diet. Yeap there will always be exceptions to the ' normal' ways people do things. Can't help but wonder if infact this is all to do with the childs " best interest" or just Mummy Dearest not wanting her baby to grow up? Surley the child's natural development with others, sch, friends etc should also come into the equasion?? But there ya go, some just need to be different and enjoy the controversy it radiates! All i keep thinking of is... Teeth!  |

I fed all mine until two and a bit years. You don't notice teeth at all. It is hard to stop when your child doesn't want to. There was also no good reason for me to stop. I just did the night time only feed after the age of about one. I think five is a bit old. I don't think they would be teased though. Each to their own I say. It's a lovely thing |

It's well know that breastfeeding is definitely superior to any other form of feeding for babies and indeed up until 2 years old is recommended (WHO). It increases the bond between mother and baby, helps the mother lose weight, helps retract the uterus after birth, reduces the risk of cancer, boosts the babies immune system, increases mother and babies health, boosts intelligence and is free!
Having said all that...5 years old??!! Eewww |

If I was a parent I'd want my children to reach a level of independence in life so they could cope with what it throws at them. I have no strong feeling either way but I suspect having them still latched on at 5 would probably hinder that growth from the onset? Aren't a lot of our behavioural patterns set very young in life? |

So that being the case why would she choose to plaster it all over the papers ?

That is a bit daft but I do think it's her choice although I wouldn't have done it myself. I stopped when I wanted to conceive again. |

Blame the newspaper. They don't have to print it. I have heard plenty of stories about people who have had papers say "either talk to us or we will slate you". Also she could be struggling financially and the extra cash helped. You just don't know. |

Still, it could've been worse - I had a mental image of bits of clotted cream for a moment.

Of course its her choice and no one else's business....until she shoves the story in peoples faces by selling to a newspaper etc!!
Personally I think it is wrong. There is no reason to breast feed a child after their teeth comes in. That's natures way if saying they are ready for solid food!
Some may say its selfish but there may be deeper psychological reasons for her wanting yo continue breast feeding. Maintaining a bond only mother and child can have etc. |

Sometimes they have teeth when they are born. So that can't be right. Also, when solids start it's a gradual thing and they still need lots of milk. You are advised as a new mum to try breastfeeding until they are at least two years old. What's more wierd that or drinking milk from another species.
