    I thought this was going to be a thread about how Barack Obama breastfed from his mother until he was 8.

    How disappointing.

    four kids........

    all breast fed..........

    weaned by two.........

    no need to feed on me after that......

    hug,
    kiss,
    smile,
    rub their head and talk to them......

    but that is way fucked up I think that is too old to breastfeed.........

To me, it speaks to following what she and her children view as the best route instead of worrying what others might think and making decisions based on that....and for that reason alone, I say good for her! Her children seemed very intelligent and balanced. I couldn't think of any harm that would come from the extended breastfeeding, so why not? They just happened to like natural forms of nourishment as opposed to the overly processed, prepackaged crap filled with chemicals and preservatives most people feed there kids without a moment's hesitation and with society's full approval.


    I just LOVE it when people decide for themselves what is best for them...it's sooooo rare these days.

    darling, do you want to go to the mall or the skate rink with your 5th grade friends? No mom, I want to suck on your breast tonight, and then draw pictures of it.

    I must say, you do have a knack for finding the most odd you tube links.
    How does one just come across something like that?

    But these children had far too much of an attachment to it. The mother seemed to deny it, but it was obvious. I would think that is it unhealthy for them, mentally, to be so. Especially when they have names for the breasts and draw lots of picture of them, and mom can't even get dressed in the morning, the girls have to be touching them or seeing them all the time. And who's to say mom isn't addicted to that attachment.

    the mom even admitted as much....."they sag, they have stretchmarks, but they dont see any of that....."

    Yeesh.

    The natural urge of my niece the other day was to run as fast as she could down the steps... that doesn't mean that her parents were wrong in stopping her.

    I just can't see how this woman doesn't have some psychological issues...

    i'm not offended, or really grossed out.

    I just find it extremely unusual and I don't see any reason for it to be necessary at 8 years of age

    breastfeeding. i love this topic, because it needs to be talked about. americans are especially insane when it comes to breastfeeding. it should be as normal as drinking water. mother should be able to do it whenever and wherever they want. until what age? i'm not sure, but the biological norm is around age 3-4, and by age 2, it's only nighttime breastfeeding. yes, age 8 is very abnormal but i don't know enough about it to say it's wrong. other than the fact that the kids would be taunted by their peers, i don't immediately see anything wrong with it. it's certainly not gross or disgusting and i'm sorry, but i think if you think that, your mind has been warped by the bullshit society you grew up in.

    children that are properly breastfed have higher IQs, are more sociable (feel greater attachment to their parents and others), and have greater resistance to disease. actually, i shouldn't put it that way. i should say: children who are not breastfed, or who are weened off too early, are being mentally, socially and physically harmed.

    mothers need to be home with their young children. i understand that the way things are these days, two incomes are usually needed, and so our way of life can often make breastfeeding impossible beyond the few months that women are allowed to take off. but that has to change. sweden mandates that mothers get a year off.
