Thank you for your comment James. I understand the benefits of breastfeeding infants. But do you approve of a mom being pictured on the cover of national magazine breastfeeding her nearly four-year-old boy?
But do you approve of a mom being pictured on the cover of national magazine breastfeeding her nearly four-year-old boy? Yes! According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Breast-feeding should continue “as long as mutually desired by mother and child.” Moreover, “there is no upper limit to the duration of breastfeeding and no evidence of psychological or developmental harm from breastfeeding into the third year of life or longer.” People have to realize this is biologically normal. It’s not socially normal. The more people see it, the more it’ll become normal in our culture. Go Jamie, I’m behind you all the way.
I posted that because it seemed like there is an overwhelming bias against breastfeeding beyond age 2, as if doing so implied paedophilia by default.
I agree with Sherman Logan when he mentions:
“The human breast is primarily an instrument of nutrition for the young and only secondarily sexual. In a healthy society, that is.
Those who see kiddie porn in this photo are importing something from their own mind that isn’t actually in it.”
- Comment #16, above.
Unnecessary fixation of the natural function of the breast used for beyond 6 months of the child’s life with pornography speaks of a very, very sick and diseased mindset, more than anything else.
