I always thought that you stopped breastfeeding when they youngun’s teeth came in. At 6, it has to be pretty painful on Mom’s teats.

By age six a child can be comforted in other ways than lifting mom’s shirt for nummies. If anyone should be doing that, it’s the husband. And in private.

And for those that think cow’s milk is abnormal, you’re nuts. we’ve been drinking cow’s milk for thousands of years and making cheeses and butters from it. That or goat’s milk, or yak’s milk or whatever we’ve decided to milk. And it ain’t killed us and it’s given us protein and nutrients just fine.

Then why are you reading the thread? Relax...we’re having fun. No use crying over spilled milk.

Uh..what about all the velcro shoes. There are a lot of grade school kids who cannot tie their shoes because parents do not want to take the time to teach them.

Or read an analog clock.

At a family reunion my grand daughter brought a friend age 11 years. I asked her if she wanted some chicken and she said she didn't see any chicken. I showed it to her, wings, breasts, drum sticks etc. she says, "that's not chicken". Turns out that the only kind of chicken this child had ever seen was in the form of nuggets.

I also long wondered about the first person to ever eat a lobster or a crab...

"I think they distinguished between cows and bulls the same way they distinguished between men and women."

The bull's penis is positioned ahead of the cow's udders, referring to the species' body frame. It's the reverse for humans.

We had a neighborhood woman who breast fed her kids to age five and had zero modesty. She'd think nothing of hanging a breast out to air for several minutes while the kids ran around the park. People eventually just started avoiding her because it was so bizarre to try to carry on a conversation with a bare breasted woman (at least a casual conversation).

I often thought about striking up a conversation with her at the park and pulling out my penis to urinate while talking, just to see what her reaction would be. Ten to one she would have called the police (even though there is nothing sexual about urinating).

“but if it works for her family, so what?”

The view of breasts as sexual is innate. It is not imposed by society. When a childs brain matures to a certain degree it’s time for mom to keep her clothes on. 6 is to old for ‘nummies’ (sheesh).

People have been drinking cow’s milk for thousands of years and survived.

I've been drinking it for 63 years and I'm doing fine. None of that pretend milk (2%) either. I occasionally drink a glass of half and half too. My cholesterol is hunky dory by the way.

Believe it or not, my oldest was potty trained at 11 months. She also started walking and talking (real words) at ten months.

My second started talking 14 months and was potty trained at 16 months. We were getting all worried about it.

Most parents defeat a natural inclination to potty train by being too lazy. Diapers allow you to put things off till later.

This woman is borderline sick. Makes one wonder about her secret thoughts that I believe are not “wholesome”...

She has a point. The average age of weaning around the world is 4 years old and there are no studies saying it is harmful.

It takes stories like this to get the facts out to people.

It's not like she went to a mall and flashed the public to assert her right to breast-feed her 6-year-old.

She doesn't sound like someone looking for approval, but someone who is trying to help others who are feeling a lack of approval for doing what is perfectly natural.

It wasn't long ago that women were being told they were crazy to breast-feed. Of course, that was the story from the companies that want to sell formula, but it took a long time to overcome that perception and convince people that breast-feeding was better.

Just go to the story and look at the comments, and you'll see people still saying that formula is better. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

I would think when the kids start getting teeth, it's time to quit.

Getting permanent teeth, getting ridiculous.

Getting wisdom teeth, getting sicko.

Getting false teeth, getting into necrophilia.
