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

    How disappointing.

    I thought it was pretty awesome of her to listen to her own intuition and the natural urges of her children over what society has deemed as 'normal'. 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.

    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....."

    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.

    why dont we all just go get a drink then, huh?

    Im over 30.....would it be weird for me to have a meal courtesy of mom?

    if not, when is the appropriate age? 25?

    20?

    15?

    Personally, I think anything more than a few months is pushing it, but that being said, I think roughly when they begin to talk is when the bar should be closed.

    You're right.... breastfeeding is great, it is natural.. 8 IMO is way too old though... I know squat about breast feeding, but it seems very un natural.. i mean, how has the mother been producing so much milk so after the fact? Ive known mothers who couldnt 'produce" that much after just a few months .. much less almost a decade!! Doesnt make any sense..


    well, the mother had another baby 3 years after the fact. it's not unnatural for a mother to be producing milk 5 years later, otherwise it wouldn't have happened.

    maybe i came across a little too extreme in last post, but the fact is, EVERY professional agrees that breastfeeding is the way to go. there are varying degrees to how much better off a child will be if breastfed, but children who are not breastfed are at higher risk for diabetes, celiac disease, diarrhea (which can be fatal for babies), tissue death in the digestive system, obesity, ear infections, respiratory infections, and urinary tract infections. breastmilk has antibodies that you can't get from formula.

    could it be any more black and white?

    8 is abnormal, but nature generally dictates the normal age.

    human beings came onto the earth 150,000 years ago. by your logic, all of your ancestors who lived before the 20th century got the whole breastfeeding thing wrong.

    Im also not worshipping a sun god, drinking river water, sleeping in caves and hunting buffalo.

    Youre right though, nature dictates the normal age.

    And in typical circles, usually anything over the age of 2 is abnormal as well.

    If you want the child to get the breast milk, put it in a bottle and sprinkle it on their lucky charms.

    An 8 year old sucking a teet is not normal, and in this day and age, it will become a problem down the road for the children.

    I am ALL for breastfeeding, but thats just wrong.

    My logic? My logic is that its wrong to breastfeed a child at age 8. And probably after the age of two.....that has nothing to do with my ancestors.

    one more thing. is it any wonder why we have so many children suffering from obesity and disease? and this nutrition deficit carries on throughout life... we deny our kids natural breastmilk, but give them pepsi when they are 2?!?

    this is a burden on our healthcare system too.

    I agree about the junkfood thing.

    Its terrible the way many parents feed their children.

    religion, sanitation, habitation and agriculture are not related to our evolution. yes, it's all good and fine to improve our ways of life, but we shouldn't deny our natural instincts, especially when we can back them up with science.

    99.9% of mothers don't want to breastfeed until age 8, or past age 3 or 4. in this particular case, it doesn't seem to affect this girl in any negative way. they seem like a very nice family.

    In most animals that feed their young with breast milk the stoppage occurs when the baby grows teeth and it hurts the mother to breastfeed (ie cats and dogs). There are many benefits to babies to have breastmilk but at 8 years that benefit is gone because a healthy diet is more nutritious for an 8 year old(plus their immune systems are strong enough on their own now). Notice I said a healthy diet.....

    i totally agree. there's no need to breastfeed a child at that age, but as far as I know, there's no harm in it.

    btw, my daughter was breastfed until she was 3. she just stopped wanting it.
