Breast-Feeding Past Infancy

Six years old is way past infancy.

Fatwa promotes adult breastfeeding

Abraham Rabinovich, Jerusalem | May 28, 2007

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.

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....

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?

[BykrBayb]

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.

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.

Ben and Jerry’s coming up with an icecream from mothers milk.

I’m sorry but there is somethng wrong when a child this age is still nursing. I think Mommy needs another baby!

[aMorePerfectUnion]

I find it comforting too...

[Future Snake Eater]

Six years old....unreal. My wife is breastfeeding our daughter, but she's only six months old! There's absolutely nothing wrong with it; breastfeeding has many excellent health benefits for the mother and baby, but there is no way you can justify nursing such an "old" child like that. It passes into the realm of "creepy" and "gross" at that point.

[thecabal]

That kid is so going to get picked on in school, especially now that mom has announced this to the world.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Cut the cord, lady! He’s growing up whether you like it or not!

[LongElegantLegs]

Whatever works, I guess. I nurse mine till they’re about 3, which I’m sure grosses alot of people out.

The real problem here is that in ten years, this kid’s going to be hearing about this whenever a classmate googles his name. Mom should do her thing but maybe keep it out of the national news...
