Extended Breastfeeding

here's a short documentary style video on
extended breastfeeding-
http://www.youtube.co
m/watch?v=uHRyRCHuQ7g (if the link
doesn't work it should look like this,
minus the periods- all lowercase and then
u.h.ry.r.c.hu.q7g)
i just found this to be extremely bizarre.
what is your opinion on this?

I think breastfeeding gets weird once the
kid can ask for it. That film was very
strange.. the fact that the children name
their mum's boobs and "touch them" every
morning is just a lil bit wrong in my
opinion.

uhm... ok then....
yes breast feeding is good for your
children, but i dont believe in
breastfeeding long enough for your own
child to remember it! who really wants to
remember what their moms boob looks like?.
i think this lady went abit overboard here

I didn't watch all of it. I guess it's not
a huge deal but I find it disturbing...
the little girl just creeped me out about
how giddy she was about it. I dunno, it's
odd to me but to each their own . 
It made me curious though. What is a good
age to stop breastfeeding, or at least to
ween them off of it?

that just seems strange, i think once they
can ask for it its time to ween them off.
But thats my opinion. I would feel very
strange letting a kid over the age of 3
breastfeed. It just doesnt seem normal to
me.

oh my dear god.
to me that's sexual abuse, i don't care if
other people do it until they're older
because that's what people do, that is
gross and wrong.
doing it until you're 5 is pushing it, but
nearly 8? dude, come on.

Well I guess to each their own but I would
feel so strange still breastfeeding when
my child is that age. If I was still
breasfeeding .Kaylee I was going to try to
do it until she was 1.. I just can't
imagine having a 5 or 7 year old attached
to my boob  My little brother
is 7 & picturing a kid his size still
being breastfed.. .. ahh I don't know..
It's just weird..
Edited because of spelling

I'm sorry, but I find that really
disgusting. I think those little girls are
going to have some serious issues when
they are older.

I'm pro "extended" breastfeeding, but
5/6/7/8 is beyond extended to be honest.
I personally feel that she is unable to
let go and accept her girls aren't babies
any more.
I feel breastfeeding should go on until
around 12-18 months and that 18-36 months
is acceptable, but that weaning should
have occured by 36 months.
by the time a child would be off formula
and fully onto cows milk and real table
food.
you can have the closeness and cuddels
with your child without them sucking
boobie.
It's kinda hard to say that because as I
said I am very pro breastfeeding but I
guess you have to draw the line
somewhere... and she hasn't even got the
pencil out the case yet let alone started
drawing.

alittle off..

i think its ok to let your children decide
things, but thats something most kids
would be attached to so its something you
decide not them...

that is absolutely sickening. those girls
are going to have serious emotional
problems, and i wouldnt be surprised if
they had intimacy issues either. that
woman is a wack job.

thank god i wasn't the only one disturbed
by this.
i got the link from my other forums, which
are just a november birth club, and the
majority of the responses (8 pages worth)
were going on about how beautiful it was.
an 8 year old suckling her mother's breast
is not beautiful, it's just plain weird.
i wonder if they would have had the same
reaction if it were a boy.
