Is that GREAT or GROSS??

Ok. I'm just curious .... What do YOU think?? Because in my opinion, plopping out your boob for your 6-year old is just plain gross. Pump in a cup lady!!

Wow, that was ... uh... interesting! I left quite a long comment on that article/post. Wanna see? :-)
I'm not one to pass judgment so I'll refrain from name calling, etc., however I do believe that is a bit gross. I was talking to my 3-year-old daughter the other day and asking her if she remembers getting milk from mommy. She said yes and touched my chest on the side. It's not unusual for her to touch me, but she normally rubs the top of my chest that is exposed in a v-neck shirt. She asked me if I still had milk and I said no. She then said she wants to see/try for herself. I gently told her no and that she's a big girl. I weaned her a little over two years ago. I haven noticed that she still likes that position of nursing and comfort. I understand how the 6-year-old boy would want to continue that comfort and bond, but if I were his mother I would have weaned him long ago and replaced that time with taking a nap together, playing or reading together. Something that continued to nurture the relationship without him suckling at the breast. For me, 6 is to old. Should be up to 2 and maybe longer for preemies.
I totally agree. Breastfeeding a 6-year old son is just plain gross. I'm pro-breastfeeding mom, but I think 6-years old is too old for that. You can bond with your child in a lot of ways other than that when he's already old enough to go to school.
Wow, that is really gross! I'm a strong supporter of breastfeeding, and BF'ed all 3 of mine until about 12-15 months. But 6 years old? No way... I don't think it's appropriate.
I love cooking so much! As I take a little time to visit Gourmandia sites, I feel so glad because I discover a wide variety of recipes! This site has knowledgeable information about cooking recipes and cooking skills!
Hi,
I just had a quick question in regards to your website. If you could email me at your convenience that would be great!
Thanks,
Katie
I try so hard not to judge mothers who are hopefully doing what works best for everyone, but I find this quite disturbing!
A child at 6 years old is capable to cognitive processes that far exceed those of babies - and I'd be hard pressed to believe that when he grows up he doesn't think "WTH was my mom thinking?"
Weird!
