there is nothing wrong with breastfeeding into preschool age, now breastfeeding over the age of 8 is just weird to me personally...

[smartkidsmom]

@outlaw17ster Up to age 7 is mentioned (not older) b/c it's not easy to BF past that age due to the new molars erupting around that age. Natural age to wean BY 7 or whenever the child chooses to stop if prior.

[RRBvampgrl]

Does she get her period? Because i've heard that you don't get your period when you breastfeed. :?

[smartkidsmom]

@RRBvampgrl periods often return later b/c of b-f-ing. It does NOT stop it indefinitely.

Thanks for posting. I cant stand Dr. Lisa either. She gives baseless opnions in place of medical advice.

[crimsonheather]

They should know how many viewers they've lost because of her idiocy. I cannot stand her and I think she's dumber than a box of hair.

[outthepotent]

She is horrible, Dr. Lisa is terrible for telling mothers to stop

[Bondianwolf]

Let's repeat for the mentally-challenged non-breast-fed adults out there. According to this show the rest of the world breast feeds more than America. ANNND, more breast feeding = higher IQ's. Then how come the rest of the world doesn't enjoy a higher standard of living? And has less access to technology? I've traveled quite a bit and I can tell you that the rest of the world wants to live in LOW IQ America. The Dr.s = politically correct claptrap

[MegaFarthammer]

Even doctors can be dumb

@xandriathegreat i think it's incredible and inspiring that you extended breastfeeding! that's so great. but i oppose this "breast is best" idiom because it makes it seem like it's merely the best option of an array of "acceptable" options. which is untrue. breast milk is the only acceptable option and everything else is practically garbage.

[o0katiekins0o]

@eringirlboygirl of course she does! she's an OB! being and OB/GYN isn't about what's best for the mother or her child. it's about what's most convenient to the OB. inducing labor and performing c-sections are convenient for the doctor as well as a major cash cow so they will advocate for their own interests first and foremost. which is why so many women are choosing to birth at home.

[o0katiekins0o]

@agetlostgirl i agree. breastfeeding a child into the double digits is veering off into strange and disturbing territory, i would want to wean a child before they were school age but to me 4 and 5 years old is perfectly normal.

[jennyjoe798]

Dr. Lisa is a joke. She has NO idea what she's talking about. Shame on her for this, and other garbage she's said. She shouldn't be on this show...There needs to be more information out there about how important breastfeeding is. For both mother and child.

@july191955 As long as someone(child) or something(pump) is pulling milk from the breast, a women will continue to produce milk.
