I breastfed our almost 3 year old to nineteen months and only weaned because of my high risk pregnancy with her little sister. I am now nursing our ten month old, and will until she is ready to wean even if that means we are approaching her third birthday.
A comparison cannot be made between bottle feeding and breastfeeding. Formula is manufactured in factories and does not change as a child grows, so it is no longer compatible with a toddler's system. Breastmilk changes with a child making it the perfect food for that child from newborn through toddlerhood. A bottle's nipples are bad for a child's teeth. Natural nipples do not impede dental development. Would I pose for a magazine? No. But you better believe I have and will continue to nurse in public any time my child needs milk. |

I'll bet money that the female is a model who has never sniffed pregnancy. The kid is just lucky fellow who will have unlimited street cred by the time he's in middle school.

Why does it make you uncomfortable? Also, why should your discomfort matter at all?

To me, a 4 yr old on a bottle or breast just screams laziness. They dont wanna hear the kid scream when the tit or bottle is taken away, so they just keep giving it to them. |

If weaning is done gently, and at the right time this won't be an issue. I very gently weaned our daughter at 19 months without any tears. We had to wean due to my high risk pregnancy, and I told her daily that we would be doing naptime, bedtime, etc differently.

It's funny seeing some of you act like you have absolutely no idea how breastfeeding a walking talking child could be viewed as out of the norm.

Never said I didn't see it as out of the norm. I said I don't think it's creepy, it's not obscene and that it's not a big deal.

I can see how it would be viewed as out of the norm. I strongly disagree and find it stupid that people think it's weird, but I understand that some people think that way.

Just did a google search of "best age to stop breast feeding" and found forums of people advocating breast feeding until 7/8 years old. WTF?
