Extended breastfeeding? |
Hello everyone. My name is Karen and I am a 26 year old mom to six beautiful girls ages 7, 6,4,2, and twins are 3 months old,and I am from Texas. I have been breastfeeding each child every day many times a day because after talking with my doctor he has suggested to me that it is fine to breastfeed my children until around ten or twelve years old. I found this interesting thus I have continued breastfeeding each of my children at home on my breast, also through pumping, and in public. I have found the health benefits for my daughters and I to be great, and I was wondering how many other people do something similar? Please share your thoughts and I hope to hear from you soon. i breastfed my son untill 26/27 months i decided id breastfeed as long as he wanted too and thats when he just lost interest, although i dont think its perverted to breastfeed your child for as long as you have (shame on you saying such a thing) im not sure i would have reached that stage with my son before i weaned him. at 29 months old my son can read, count to ten, speak dozens of words and phrases, i feel he is really advanced and forward for his age because i breastfed him. i would like to say its not just the breastfeeding its the mothers diet too and i made sure i had an array of fruit and vegetable throughout to make my milk extra nutritious. well done to you though i think thats amazing! did you know in the uk 8 out of 10 mothers bottle feed? i think your amazing!more power to you. great that you have your hubby's support in this. I wouldn't force my older children to drink my breast milk but if they wanted to I would pump some just so they could taste but not to drink all the time Unfortunately if you are not living in a 3rd world country..... its perverted to breastfeed a kid age 7, 6, 4, and even 2 is stretching it ( nevermind the stretched out boobs) call me crazy, but could it hurt a child menttally if they remember being breastfed at the age of, oh, 6-10 years old? seems a little odd to me. I personally think this is a joke question. If you look at a child's chin, it's pretty obvious they are not babies after 5 years old. Most children wean between the ages of 2.5 and 3 years old even in 3rd world countries. Women who nurse much beyond this are either trying to prevent pregnancy, which it does in some circumstances, or have a child with emotional problems. |
