Why does everyone think it is their right to tell a woman how to mother her children?
 I bet if the picture was of a man doing something fatherly with his kids, no one would say a word about it. But because it's a woman and breastfeeding, everyone wants to butt into their business when there are far more critical parenting situations out there, such as neglect. I work in a school district and see it every day. I wish we had more moms like the one who is breastfeeding her six year old.

Excuse me?  Breastfeeding a... six YEAR old?  Or did you mean a six MONTH old?

When the "child" is old enough to unhook mom's bra with a finger and thumb, it's time to shut off the tap.

Sounds about right.  Also, within that thread someone mentioned TEETH! I would think that would stop the Mom's desire to continue, I would think.   :whistling:

I forgot to have kids.

6. Since you are so enlightened as to the correct age a child should cease breast-feeding...
   
please share. Is it one year old? Six months? Two years? What if the child cannot tolerate most foods by six? Personally I think it is up to the health of the child, the culture s/he is growing up in, etc. I don't know why people are so opinionated over this issue. If the sight offends you then turn away; otherwise, live and let live.
What a creepy thread.

C'mon now.... my daughter will eat anything under the sun (except some fruits) and she's 18 months old.  It's not that breastfeeding offends me.  It doesn't.  But if I saw a child who is in elementary school still being breastfed, I would find that disturbing.

What culture has six year old children being breastfed?

Maybe it is just me or does the mother in this story sound like one taco short of a combo meal? Can you imagine the size/shape her breasts are in? I did it for a short time with both of my kids and my are not the same I can't imagine 6 years of it!

I saw this the other day.

Here is the (Fox News) (http://nation.foxnews.com/breastfeeding/2010/12/09/mother-still-breastfeeds-6-year-old) story.

And the original (MailOnline) (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1336979/Breastfeeding-year-old-tandem-newborn--horrifying-loving-bond.html). (more details)

Every mom/ baby situation is different. But advocates of breastfeeding need to distance themselves from this freak show. This child has teeth, can chew and digest any food and there is no reason for this. This woman is the outlier. The one that gets some measure of self gratification through this activity. Nobody can defend that. Some psychiatrist will make a mint off this kid. Future whack-job being nursed by present whack-job. In my opinion.

There are some "militant", for lack of a better term, brestfeeding mom's out there.  Up here in libland most of the doctors know which group is which and try to steer expectant mothers away from them. 

The kid needs to be off the tit after he/she has teeth.  At least that was what my wife told me.

Talk about selective thinking..

It's ok for the government to regulate kids intake of junk food, sugar, and pop....but it's wrong for anyone to tell a woman that a 6yo kid is too old to breastfeed.

I breast fed both my kids....first one - 8months, second - 5.5months.  My daughter just stopped night "feedings" on her second when she turned one, primarily because my granddaughter still has troubles grasping the concept of "the entire night is for sleeping".

I knew a woman back in the 80's who was a 70's flower child, who didn't stop feeding her son until he was 5. She asked me what I thought of that...I told her she it was weird, that she was doing it for herself rather than her child...and I personally thought it was creepy. Naturally she got offended, and I told her she shouldn't have asked me if she really didn't want to know what I thought. Have to admit, though....I already had thought she was weird when I found out she had her first name legally changed to "Eve" after she married her husband, Adam.  :thatsright: 

Every once in a while, a moonbat wanders into the area.....and manages to avoid Deliverance.   :uhsure:

For the men out there, once a woman knows how to hold the baby so feeding is not painfull, then is when the relief begins.   When the breasts are engorged they are painfull and feeding relieves the swelling and hurt.

Not that cats are human, but the mechanics of breast feeding is much alike in mammals  one reason to call breasts mammary or the mammary gland.    Back to the cats----on farms cats will not out of any kind of mental process feed each others kittens- they act as a wet nurse to get the milk out and stop the pressure.

Some woman have a responce to an infants cry that is not her own up to a year after she stops breast feeding.

Some mothers will retard their own children by trying to keep them totally dependent on them, some are so overprotective that the child is still in diapers at 5 years old.  Keeping them dependent on their breast milk until they are 5-6 is for the mother not the child.   There is little nutrition in breast milk after 2 -3 years and it is the sucking responce that the children crave.   I have seen 3-4 year old kids that still demand their binkey.  A reason one calls that device a pacifier.

Some cultures do breast feed for years longer then necessary as the belief is that a woman lactating will not become pregnant.  Natures way to insure the developing baby has enough nutrition to grow.----Sometime this just don't work as life will find a way.

On the other end of the spectrum the cultures that hand a new born baby to a wet nurse so the mother can churn out another baby as soon as possible.


Then there are story's out of Siberia during the great famine of men that did produce milk when their wives died in child birth.

Breast feeding in all mammals has the purpose of nutrition until a child can eat on their own.  

Personally seeing a 3-4 year old wandering about with a bottle in their mouth is disconcerting to me---but that is just me.

It is a private thing that can be done in public if done modestly. I nursed my son and had the pleasure to speak to a lovely woman the other day who was nursing her 3 week old. The only giveaway was the blanket over her shoulder. She was covered the whole time and there was nothing more beautiful. But some smelly "earth mother' whipping her udders out so her third grader can have a snack in the middle of the food court is just nasty.

This same thing happened about 10 years ago in Champaign , Illinois (http://www.rense.com/general6/breastfeed.htm).

Quote
To state child welfare officials, the case is about abuse.
 
Authorities at the Department of Children and Family Services took the boy from the 32-year-old woman's home after a baby-sitter called an abuse hot line and the child subsequently told investigators that he no longer wanted to breastfeed, they said. The mother says she told investigators her son never indicated he didn't want to nurse and that she would continue to breastfeed as long as her son wished.
 
The agency has determined that the child's living situation constitutes sexual molestation and risk of harm.
 
"Breastfeeding a child is not the issue," says Deborah Kennedy, DCFS regional administrator in the central region. "It's after he has stated that it is unwanted and she had that information and didn't indicate she would halt that activity ... then you have unwanted behavior on his part and that constitutes abuse."
 
She added: "In general, any contact between a sexual organ against the will of the child constitutes abuse ... because it's breastfeeding, it's a sensitive issue."

I wonder how the 16 year old kid is doing.
