  • Before we were too damn civilized breastfeeding 5+yrs was what nature intended, just saying. Bottles dont give a child the same feeling as the breast. Noone needs to nurse for that long, but leave the woman alone and don't be ignorant.

  • I think 5 years is an etirnity to be breastfed. It's unnatural not to mention hell on your on boobs. God, I'd hate to be that woman's husband in bed.

  • wtf? thats disturbing

  • This V. Robinson woman acts like some breastfeeding crusader, but all she is, is disturbed in the head, she obviously enjoys keeping her near puberty daughters dependent on her, she craves the bonding that it provides. Someone needs to ask her why she doesn't just pump her milk and give these kids a cup of the stuff? Why do they have to suck on tits?

    When her oldest kid asked to breastfeed from Veronika for her 9th B-day, she was delighted by the request

    Anymore of this show available?

  • Great comment. I agree with every word!

  • when i read the description i though it meant that she breatfed her eight year olds and her college graduated kids also

  • I don't think there is nothing wrong with a person wanting to be a stay-at-home mom. Breastfeeding an 8 year old... yeah... Enough said. Atleast give him the milk in a cup or something. lol

  • This is freaky!!!!

    If I was in that child's shoes, Id yell out loud: stop breastfeeding me for the love of god.

  • in many countries this is done and it works for them....as it acts like a type of contraceptive and provides the child with nutrients they may not be available to. In north america though, this is very frowned upon

  • My mom always says that once we were old enough to talk about being breastfed it freaked her out and she would stop. So that ended up at about 18 months to 2 years for all 4 of us. What kind of kid should be going to school and possibly talking about being breastfed. EW!!!

  • What I don't get is why these woman don't just buy one of those breast pump and bottle the mild (or in the case of an eight year old cup it) if they realllllly want their kids to drink it that much. My aunt just has a little girl and just went back to work (sh's a teacher) so she bottles the milk so who ever is taking care of her can give them the bottle, that makes a hell of alot more sense and no one can really say all that much.

  • Yes it does!

  • lol i was breast fed until i was about 3. aaaaah my secret is out!!! i feel as though it is bonding time. mayb the children dont feel loved and see breastfeeding as an oppurtunity to connect and spend time with their mother. xoxox :)

    jus my opinion

  • 5 years old! WTF!!! I mean After a year a baby should not be on your boob. that;s fucked up!

  • gosh u are ignorant, u know wat do urself a favour ,try breast feeding 1 of ur kids for 3 yrs then u will know the difference physically and mentally btw dat child and the rest of ur children, it's an experiment 4 u not a punishment.

  • no its fuckin creepy to breatfeed a child past that age, they need to grow up

  • i know 5 yrs is too much though.

  • Veronika has some major anger issues.

  • You would too if you were always attacked for your choices.

  • You raise an excellent point. Do you think there is any benefit (health, social, or otherwise) to breast feeding an 8 year old?

  • To be honest, I would not feel comfortable breastfeeding that long, although I did nurse my son for 3.5 years. Her daughters were both in their 7th year when they weaned. I understand the makeup of breastmilk, the way it changes over time, and the way it adapts to the needs of the child, and why we were designed to breastfeed until around that age. I do think there are benefits. What I think is it's not for everyone. Veronika has made clear choices and has a lifestyle that is conducive to it.

  • Personally, I believe most of the benefits are for the mother. It makes them feel needed.

  • I disagree. As someone who has breastfed past a year, it is definitely not something that I did to feel needed. I don't feel my son needs me any less simply because he's not breastfed anymore.

  • You know, you are probably right. Veronika constantly lashes out. She lashes on TV, in interviews, on her blog, in her magazine. She is one huge ball of anger. It probably is because she is reacting to her criticism. But the truth of the matter is is that if you put yourself and your choices out there for public view, criticism is par for the course. It's a shame she doesn't know how to handle something she chose to sign up for.

  • I agree, if you put yourself out there then you are going to have your critics. What amazes me the most, though, is how hateful people can be towards each other, and her choices have drawn that side of humanity out. Common courtesy is almost extinct.

  • Hmmm, you should check out some of Veronika's hatred for their choices as well.

  • I read Veronika's blog, as well as her other publications. I agree that she can also be harsh on other's choices. But at the same time, does that method really get anyone anywhere? And I have seen a lot of downright nasty comments and attacks on her in a way she has not done to others.

  • Hmmm. You seem to think it's more acceptable for her to be judgemental towards others than it is for others to be judgemental towards her.

  • No I don't think it's right. What I am saying is, when does the cycle end? Also, I feel that because she falls outside the "norm" people are more vicious and personal in their attacks towards her.

  • I believe you are right. Veronika constantly lashes out. She lashes out in every interview I have seen her in. She probably is reacting to the criticism she has received. However, when you place yourself and your choices out there for the world to see, you have yourself invited criticism. That's par for the course! It's a shame for Veronika that she can't handle what she signed up for.

  • This show was so incredibly one sided. They had no "professionals" who stood for the breastfeeding nor stay at home side. Anyone who thinks children "NEED" daycare are sadly misinformed. The only kids I would say "NEED" daycare is the ones who have parents who shouldn't have had kids in the first place.

  • I see why you might feel that way, but if you watch the video again, pay attention to what I say about breast feeding being the BEST option for a child up to the age of 5 years old - an idea that is also fully encouraged and supported by the Wordl Health Organization (WHO) as well. ;^)

  • I agree with the WHO, although I wasn't aware they gave a ideal age to end. Everything I have read gives a minimum and then ends with "as long as mutually desired." I felt that the audience attacked the breastfeeding moms, especially Veronika, for simply letting her children wean on their own. It was turned into something sexual and perverted, which it is not.
