Seems very weird to me but not sure why it’s the business of anybody but the family.
To: gracesdad
I would tend to agree with you up to the point where she decided to broadcast it nationwide via ABC news.

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. Velcro shoes don't make a stinking mess in the booth next to mine at the restaurant...

As long as there is someone nursing/pumping.. it’s supply and demand.

You're right. It WAS nobody’s business. Up until she put it out for public consumption(no pun)
She WANTS public approval...

Put it on tap Mom.
Breast milk with a frothy header or she could freeze it for when he hits adult hood and give it to him for his birthday with that frappacino maker.
I observed woman in a 3rd world country (hut living) and they clearly weaned at an age of what I believe most American woman also wean at.

I think it’s unwise and just plain stupid to breastfeed a 6 year old in modern Western society. At some point mom (and it’s mom, not the kid, who is keeping this thing going) is going to have to stop.
Hopefully, peer pressure will cause the boy to give this up, and I have a feeling it’s mom’s feelings who are going to be hurt.
There’s something weird about this phenomenon, especially since I don’t think I’ve ever heard about a mom breastfeeding her 6 year old daughter........

I think they used to call someone who breast-fed too long a leche-er. But I think they have shortened that word since. Made it more palate able, but not more palatable...

Its cows milk that is unnatural, except for calves.I've always been amazed that anyone ever started drinking cows milk in the first place. How would you like to be the first one to say, "I'm gonna squeeze me one of them critters, and drink whatever comes out!" And did they learn to pick the cows over the bulls by trial and error?
I also long wondered about the first person to ever eat a lobster or a crab...

The average is more than 4 years, worldwide. Western societies are the abnormal examples. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that “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.”

I think they distinguished between cows and bulls the same way they distinguished between men and women. I mean, DUH!
