Normal at SIX !!! I think NOT !!!
Six years old is way past infancy.
uh, no.
I nursed my babies. My daughter is nursing her baby. But when they can ask for “nummies” and lift your shirt, it’s way, way past time to stop. This isn’t for the child....it’s for the mom.
At six, he should be able to get a cup and carefully pour his own milk.

A RELIGIOUS ruling by an Islamic scholar permitting women to breastfeed adults with whom they work has led to his suspension this month from al-Azhar University in Cairo, the world's leading Sunni university.

Pretty sick, that.
You’re right. Anyone who allows the ChiComs to obtain US missile-guidance technology should be the subject of continual condemnation.
I’ve had five children and nursed for long periods of time, the longest to almost age 4. 6 does seem long but if it works for her family, so what? Breast milk is nutritious and has many health benefits. It’s cows’ milk that is unnatural, except for calves.
Tiernan is going to be one messed up dude....
When I was a young mother, with my first child, a woman that I knew was the president of the local la leche league. We used to go to the beach with several other young mothers and their children. This woman’s youngest child used to run up to her whenever the other children were having snacks and pull down her bathing suit and start sucking away. This kid was playing the surf the rest of the time.
Can’t wait until the boy is pitching high-school baseball and needs a little ‘comfort’ when the bases are loaded. Come on mom ... six is a little old.
Saves money on milk I guess. lol
They HAVE to stop sometime. If they are still doing this when the kid is 13, this will get interesting.
Uh, who is this person and why does she deserve this sort of attention?
Before a kid is six years old, he’s usually bringing friends home to share his afternoon snack with. That could be awkward.
Milk moustache ping.
I find 6 years a little long to be nursing a child but I nursed my son for 3 years and I’m sure many here would say that was way too long.
In a related pet peeve, most people these days begin toilet training WAY too late. A kid should be able to hit the pot most of the time at the age of eighteen months.
