On the news recently there have been women on there who are still breast feeding thier children up to the age of 6.

The normal time to stop breast feeding is about 6 months I think or at most a year. This is because the antibodies in the breast milk will no longer work at fighting off illness's like colds etc. I was just wondering what people thought about this. Personally I think breast feeding a 6 year old is kinda weird.

any way what do you guys think of this ?

(sorry I couldn't find a link to show a news report on this)

I think theres a show coming on about this... and they were feeding 10-12 yr olds....

See that is just wrong. Surly when children get to that age it could be seen as sexual assault... wouldn't it ?

It's just quite disturbing.....

I've heard of some moms that were forcing their 12 year olds to still have breast milk..it's just not right.

Old Europe breast fed until around 5 or 6.

well for us guys it depends on the Mom, if Angelina Jolie was my mom I would have breast fed until I was 18
also for us guys it is this p**sy issue, you spend your first 9 months trying to get out of one and the rest of our life trying to get back in..



Serious note though I think after the kid is 10 months they seriously need to put it off breast feeding, or else its gonna be one skirt depending mommy mommy cry baby

and this comes from???

Hmmmm I think breast feeding is best until 18 months - 2 yrs old. Of course by then the child is also on solid food .

6 months is real early though.

Although, I do know women who breast fed their chidlren till they were 3-4 yrs old.

But after 6 months there is no nutritional value in breast milk that isn't in normal milk.

You would of thought.... But the child says... And I quote
"Children should breastfeed forever..."

Does breast milk not help the childs immune systems... I think I read that some where...

I finally I understand the Europeans.

Breastfeeding into the toddler years is actually a much more common practice among royal famalies. However, I can't imagine watching a woman take a 12 year old into the breast feeding booth at the mall.

Then off to the frozen yogurt stand.

Well it could really be embarrassing to see a 5 year old crawl upon his mothers lap and lift her shirt up too.........Though I have never seen this, I have however heard of it and know some people who have done it to about the age of 4....

Wouldn't that like make a person drooopy ....Maybe that's what's goin on in Africa....

What in the heck are you on about?

It depends on the child and the mother. You can't make a one fit all rule for this.

this is something i've long questioned. at what point does the mother stop lactating to breastfeed? i thought once the child was born and the mothers hormones subsided it stopped, but obviously it goes for longer. whats the deal?

I read pediatrics are encouraging mothers to nurse at least one year and as long after as both mother and baby desire (to 3 and 4 years of age).

sick mothers....lucky kids

It's really not lucky..........you feel like a cow or something.........

It's quite odd. It's not right but the way I see it, the children are going to grow up to be titty babies.

Apparently the World Health Organisation recommends breastfeeding until at least 2 and a quarter years.

Who here was breastfed?

If my vaguely remembered agricultural classes are any way applicable, lactation will continue (at least in cows, sheep and goats) as long as the mammary glands are required to produce milk. If a lamb or calf isn't weaned away from it's mother, she would continue to produce milk indefinitely as long as the milk continues to be taken out (by suckling or artificial means.) Something to do with hormones produced by the suckling process that makes the body say "hay, milks still needed, better keep producing". Or something.

But anyway, I'd think there would be a psychological consideration. The child's mental well being. A bit like expecting them to still sleep in their parents bed, or wear nappies of something. There comes a time when it is wise to stop, to put away childish (or more childish) things as it were. By that age milk, while still a part of a healthy diet, has been replaced by other food/liquid stuffs. And how does it work... I mean, they go to school, friends houses and all that....

The way I understand it, it goes on until you stop breast feeding. In Italy a mother who decided not to breast feed would find another women who was still lactating and let her feed her baby..

Hmm..Lol. You'd feel like a woman! Or...Crap I said that wrong.

I just read a study that confirmed there is a much lower risk of obesity in your children if you breastfeed them for 6 months, which is fine. Personally, I think if you wait much longer than that, you risk perversion, lol....

I've never heard the first part of that, but the second part seems pretty accurate. Because theoretically if they breastfeed past the average time span a mother breastfeeds her baby it's quite like the baby will most like grow up to be a major lowlife that lives in his mothers basement until he is 35. But that's just my theory

i was like 2 when i stopped....i heard of studies saying that sometimes if people breastfeed, the babies end more intelligent....i dont know if this is true, because im not that smart

I wouldn't breast feed my kids when they are 3-4. I intend to wean my kids when they are 2 years old.

I don't know if I was breast fed (to the person who asked if anyone had been)..

I also agree with that I doubt many people would remember unless they are getting breast fed at 11/12 years old. I think mothers keep doing it for so long in many cases because it releases hormones that have been found to relax the mother and cause her to experience nurturing feelings toward her infant.

I think that the first 6 months are important and all women should breast feed for this time IMO. but in my mind anything more than a year of breast feeding is kinda weird, and I am wondering who gets more out of it the mother or child.

I agree too! And to the last question...I don't ever want to find out who gets more from breast-feeding.

There was this woman on TV a while ago, she had a 5 year old daughter, and was still breastfeeding her. Another woman had a 9 year old son, and was still breatsfeeding him. Yet another woman had a 5 year old son, and would send him off to school with a bottle of breast milk.

After the antibodies are built up there is no need to breast feed...Generally at the time of teeth coming in is the sign that no more breast milk is needed....It's natures way of telling you.l

My neighbour breastfed her daughter until she was 18 months old, she kept biting, lol!

To be frank, anyone who finds breast feeding during infantile years, in public or not, in the street or in a restaurant, is perverted and insecure.

It's a completely natural thing, how can you consider feeding your child a cows milk, which is for calves, the norm?
How can you expect people to respect you finding it awkward or embarrassing when a woman breast feeds in public? It is a natural process.
How can it be seen as offensive? Breasts are just breasts, they are not a 'private part', every one has breast tissue, male or female.
And how can one claim it is indecent exposure when it is pefectly acceptable for a woman to reveal her breasts to get a tan but not to feed her baby.

Anyone who finds it awkward, even in childrens early years, needs to see a therapist.

And hello to all on the forum, my first post.

Yes... though I don't think anybody here is saying it's wrong in the early months of the child's life, just a bit odd to continue it when the child is 4 years of age or older...

And for some reason I am reminded of a certain character from Little Britain...

I agree with you. I know someone who believes that breastfeeding is sexual, that women only do it to get pleasure. They also believe that it's sick to breastfeed in public, and that it could incite men to rape the woman.

I agree. It was a surprise to me to know that there is people who find it offensive. Its like find pregnancy, or eating offensive. But living as we live we cannot hope that everything to be seem as natural, even if they are, humans are too distant from nature, there is a lot of corruption, pervertion, stupidity, etc.

that was the point of this thread. I don't think breast feeding is wrong just after about a year to a year and a half it becomes meaningless.

i think its wrong anyway.

Breastfeeding until a child is six is jut a bit weird, i mean the child is in school - just seems plain odd to me.
I dont actually like seeing anyone breastfeeding in public though. I dont know why I just think it should be done in private.

I'm from the states and public tanning of the chest is considered indecent if done in a public place. I'm sure there are areas where it's not an issue. Nudist camps come to mind, but seem like an extreme and not entirely relevant to this topic. Although, they do live a lifestyle that's out of the ordinary, just like how breastfeeding past 2-3 years is also unorthodox.
I listen to BBC's 1xtra radio station over the net and I heard mention of this issue and a program or documentary that was going to talk about this, sometime last week. I couldn't watch it, being from the states, but It sounded interesting. I think it's not necessarily for the child's benefit to be breastfed until that late an age. It's been mentioned before, and although i'm not sure of how true it is, I'd imagine the nutritional value would be next to nil at that point. Want to give your child nutritional aid? Buy some vitamins. It seems like it's more for the mother than the child. She most likely wants to keep that child sheltered and has a hard time letting go of this close and intimate (not in a dirty sexual way, mind you) relationship. It's all a bit much, isn't it? A 9 year old being breastfed? He's around the corner from discovering his sexuality, for goodness sake. *shudders*

Well most breast feed for the antibodies that are picked up from the mother. But I think after a year it's no longer needed. It's said if you can go at least 3 months that would be good, though it's better to go around 6 ot 9 months...because after that the child builds up his/her own immune system and it's no longer needed.

If I have kids, I would prefer if they didn't breast feed. I want to be able to hold a bottle up for it and feed it that way and go through the motions and everything. Breast feeing would be too much stuff with it and especially in public and you wouldn't be able to feed the baby when you want to, and If I had the baby with me, I wouldn't be able to do anything if it wanted some milk.

Would I?

You could breast feed in public..

yeah, i know my WIFE could, not me, my WIFE could. But it still causes people to stare sometimes. And let's say for instance we're at a formal event. What's my wife gonna do, Pull up her gown or flip the tidi over the edge of the top part and stick it in the babies mouth? It's just too much trouble. And the baby would have to be with her all the time, b/c she's the babies supply of milk and no one/nowhere else.

is it comprehensibel.....

Breast Feeding is supposed to be better for the children...jsut though I'd throw that in.

If you have a hungry baby, it's your right to feed that baby in public, and don't give a damn what the narrow minded think.

Yes why not!

Why feed baby in a toliet when there is the risk of disease and illness?
Feed baby out in the open, and long as the mother is discreet, it's fine.

I think she should stop being an overbearing mother and let her kids grow up and become independent. They can't stay "little" forever...

That was weird...those kids are too old for crap like that.

The woman says that she is giving the children the right to be breast fed. I think every child has that right, it's just most mothers have more sense than to let children use that right.

"Gender awareness. By age 2 or 3, a child starts to develop a sense of being a male or female. This awareness is called gender identity. A child of this age starts to understand the difference between boys and girls, and can identify himself or herself as one or the other. Some people think gender identity is biologically determined and some say it's a product of a child's environment. Most likely, though, it's a combination of both."

I didn't click on the link, but maybe breast feeding should stop right before the child understands gender awareness.

Breast feeding should probably stop prior to the age of 2.

Well, it looks like momma still has plenty o milk to go around. They're pretty big considering an 8 year old is rountinely suckling em.

I know alot of people that breast feed but I don't think I would when I have a baby.I think I will bottle feed her or him.Nto sure why but it is just strange.
I do hate it through when working and a lady is breast feeding her baby and she has no blanket over the head and she is out in the opening where there are so many people around her.
Well maybe not alot of people but you get the point.Do you guys get annoyed by this too?jm

No, most breastfeeding women reveal much less skin while breastfeeding than an average commercial reveals. There isn' t really much for anyone else to see unless they look so closely that they are intruding rudely on your personal space.

This lady you an see clear from the room.But I see what you mean through.Jm

You either!You are a dude!jm

i think if they can tell you they want to be fed they are too old to have it.
