  • If it isn’t anyone’s business about how or how long they breast freed their child. Why the hell would you or any other video publish something like this? Read some Freud then maybe you’ll inform yourself on how much the “Tit” truly impacts a child in his or hers life long struggle. Here’s a hint, it creates long term dependency, it also creates huge amounts of attachments with basic life cycles which will prosper for a very long measure of time, thus creating a “held back individual”.

  • @bigcharles90 actually u are entirely wrong! my 15 year old brother nursed for 41/2 years hes well adjusted and does well in school and life, my 12 year old sister nursed till she was 7 and she is the most popular and indepentant girl i know, and my 10 year old brother nursed until he was 71/2 and he is reading at a 9th grade level and is smarter and healthier then any other boy his age, my five year old is still nursing and he was the smartest little guy in his kindergarden class, so ur wrong!

  • I still dont think at 8 or 9 yrs old that breastfeeding is really appropriate . I think like up until 3 .but thats just my opinion . and no im def not saying that its molestation bc I dont think that at all .

  • It's not just about breasts as sexual objects, it's about moving children from baby (or young child) behavior to independence. It wouldn't be appropriate to diaper an 8 year old because they found it comforting. I am aware of the practices of other countries, but I have never seen evidence of children nursing at 8. Besides, your kids need to fit in to the culture they are a part of, even if you've made it clear that you like/don't like certain aspects of it.

  • This comment is for all of the breastfeeding naysayers: Your ancestors breastfed their children until they weaned themselves, which would have been around the time they would've had all of their milk teeth (2 to 7 yrs). The "new" method of feeding babies is to feed them formula from birth, solids by the age of 6 months. However, the ONLY way humanity would've been able to survive to the present would've been directly because of extended breastfeeding. All are invited to challenge this.

  • Forgive me but as a father of four there comes a point where food is food and the breast gets left behind. From a moral point, prolonged (from an age perspective) breast feeding should be kept out of the public eye. Should it be brought out of the home and into public then the parent and child both should EXPECT reaction and not all of it good or calm. I'll not dictate to anyone on the principals of parenting and yet even I quail at the idea of a child as old as 8 breastfeeding.

  • pamelaanton82 AMEN sister, you tell them.

    it is non of anyone's business to tell a

    mother she cant breast feed her 7 or 8 year old if the child still wants

    to breast feed. The term for it is called full term breastfeeding by Dr's.

    If I had children and they still wanted to, I wouldn't care.

  • If the child(ren) is(are) actually happy, healthy, well-adjusted, and doing well scholastically -- I see no issue.

    My grand father raised me to "believe none of what I hear, half of what I see". so I'm sitting on my hands on this topic; can't formulate jack shit with no real data.

  • OMG, when I first looked at this video, I thought you were speaking into a tampon.

  • I think the happiness of the children & intellectuality is more about the closeness they get from their mom & less about them still breast feeding. Children need love & a lot of people start to treat them like adults when they are still children. The children are not growing up too fast on their own.....they are pushed to it most times cause closeness has become something bad.

  • I agree with your opinions on the subject. Thank you for your video!

  • @ kajhou wow somebody told u to use the bathroom to breatfeed in? wtf do u eat in the bathroom?as a nursing mom of a 2 month old and a 3 year old who wants to start up again,i dont think that its wrong,its different but hey....
