I find it odd that you've taken it upon yourself to make those decisions for nursing mothers. I'm sure they'd give you a nice collective 4321 if they heard your opinion. Or they could care about your opinion about as much as I do, zilch, zero, nada.

I'll say again and again, yours or anyone's comfort level with a mom nursing is your problem not theirs.

So do you have kids?

That being said: Anyone who argues for formula over breast milk is smoking rock. Women breastfeeding in public is also fine by me. Of course... that being said, I'd be a little uncomfortable watching a mom breastfeed a 5 year old in public.


I don't think anyone has been - unless I missed it - arguing formula vs. breast milk. My kids were all formula fed and I know breast milk is simply better for the child.

For a number of reasons. And I agree.







I also think that like other natural things (farting, urinating, sex) it should not be done in public...

Not in a melon years would this be ok in my house.

So you'd tell your wife that this behavior isn't allowed? I feel sorry for you if your wife feels strongly about this.

Oh, and I love the pun. Heyoooooooo.

That's jugs too old for a kid to be nursing, imo.

I kind of agree with this:

First of all, why, when a breast-feeding mother makes the cover of a national magazine, is it a thin, young one in a tank top? Grumet’s image is so obviously sexualized it’s not even trying to pretend otherwise. But the real problem with the cover story is its obvious, dripping disdain. This is not just an attention-getting MILF shot. It’s a picture of a woman “driven” to an “extreme.”

Sure, extended breast-feeding is unusual – and reliably controversial. Two years ago, the Daily Mail pondered whether the practice was “horrifying.” It doesn’t, however, necessarily follow that a family that chooses long-term nursing is freakishly challenging anybody else to be “mom enough.” That’s what makes the whole thing gross. The entire Time cover story is framed in a way to make the viewer be simultaneously repulsed and aroused. Congratulations, editors. You’ve added to our already rampant cultural dismissal of motherhood as a kooky cult. And you’ve made a venerable news magazine one big hate bang.

Then quit responding to it, dickbreath.

And no, I don't have kids. But rest assured, if I did, they wouldn't be breastfeeding in public at age six, regardless of how many envelope pushing imbeciles like you think it's okay.

I agree. If I see an infant breastfeeding I think of it as very natural.

As long as the mother is producing healthy milk, its always better than formula.

I just think at 4 and up is a bit strange.

I never said once in this thread that it was OK, because I don't think that it's appropriate for me to make judgments about the way that any mother chooses to feed her child.

So, when is a good age, IYO, to stop?

When that kid is sixteen he's going to ask Mom to dress a little sluttier. Maybe wear a black teddy or something...
