I don't see why breastfeeding should be frowned upon unless those being breastfed are clearly not children and then perhaps it should take place behind closed doors.
It's only a pair of tits (or more often a single nork) which can be espied. One sees all manner of lady chests when strolling along any beach on a warm summer's day and nobody kicks up a stink about that. Moreover, attaching a baby to one hardly makes the breast more attractive to your standard common variety pervert.
Thankfully women all over Britain can whip out their jubblies, at the drop of a hat, if their horrendous children come over a bit peckish and hardly anyone bats an eyelid.

That is spot on Charver.
They seem a happy family and the girl is the one who has the problem.
The point is its the child deciding if he needs it or not.
My son desided himself and no big drama was made of it. He didnt need it any more, some kids do. Not all children are the same. I guarntee the kid will stop before he hits puberty.

For one, taking this story to TV is going to lead to this poor kid getting a lot of grief from local bulllies, but aside from that, she's really sating her own needs and using the child. This mother seems to need attention. Delaying emotional growth of this youngster by providing "comforting" when he's frustrated is doing him little good. What if he doesn't "decide" he doesn't need nummies before he heads off to school and then he finds himself frustrated and off the teat, alone in the real world. It's a recipe for breakdown. He should be weened off the teat when he got his teeth and learned to eat. This is mommie's real job. Raise a functioning human that can get through the day without needing to suckle like an infant.
She's keeping him infantile for her own selfish needs and looking past the damage she is doing to him. It's child abuse, almost. This kid will have emotional problems from this. There's a term for it. Oedipus complex.

When you force a child to give up comfort that they need you do not make them stronger you make them weaker.
The child is asking not the mother. You are reading all kinds of shit into a very small piece of information given you.
Children are individuals and its OK to treat them as such. Did your wife breastfeed?
When you force a child to give up comfort that they need you do not make them stronger you make them weaker.
At what point do you engourage self comforting, or as it's sometimes called, emotional growth?
She is retarding the kid's emotional growth. Breastfeeding until maybe 2 or 3 seems like a normal time to start weening. It's the same mentality that leads to child obesity.

Sometime around three kids have the capacity to communicate with each other. It becomes a "sexual thing" when the child understands that it is abnormal.
Believe me, a six year old understands more than you want them to.
For a person who thinks their dog understands English you sure dismiss the capacity of humans. It is sick, because it is.
Like the SCOTUS justice said... I can't define it, but I know obscene when I see it.
I think you are desexualizing the motives of adults, who then feed the perversion with your blessing.

http://www.weeklypregnancycalendarandstretchmarktreatment.com/stop breast feeding.shtmlEmotional Effect: Your child is likely to get upset if you stop breast-feeding. So miss one breast feed and substitute it with a solid feed. If your child takes it willingly, it is an encouraging sign. You may gradually wean her from breast milk. If your child is not prepared to leave breast milk due to the strong emotional bond that exists, you may have to continue for a while, and then try again.
Here is some information for you guys.
The experts dont give an age to stop for good reason.
Please go get me a case where the child was harmed emotionally from breast feeding too long.

This is inane.
A kid is likely to get upset if you take away their privilege to watch television too.
Desh, once the child is old enough to understand the abnormality, you are then taking advantage of the undeveloped emotions of the child if you use that to enforce the abnormal behavior.
Sexual abuse can take many forms and effects a child throughout a lifetime, and is under reported for a reason. Those who are most effected are the least likely to talk about what it was that effected them that way.
There is no excuse to allow people to take advantage of their undeveloped emotions in such a fashion, just because you think it might make them "upset" if they don't get breast milk. And the breast is not the only possible source of breast milk delivery for the child. If you insist on giving breast milk, then pump. Don't use a child "might get upset" as an excuse to continue in behavior that you know is abnormal just so you can feel better because it didn't "make the kid upset".

The American Academy of Family Physicians notes that children weaned before two years of age are at increased risk of illness (AAFP 2001).
Nursing toddlers between the ages of 16 and 30 months have been found to have fewer illnesses and illnesses of shorter duration than their non-nursing peers (Gulick 1986).
"Antibodies are abundant in human milk throughout lactation" (Nutrition During Lactation 1991; p. 134). In fact, some of the immune factors in breastmilk increase in concentration during the second year and also during the weaning process. (Goldman 1983, Goldman & Goldblum 1983, Institute of Medicine 1991).
Per the World Health Organization, "a modest increase in breastfeeding rates could prevent up to 10% of all deaths of children under five: Breastfeeding plays an essential and sometimes underestimated role in the treatment and prevention of childhood illness." [emphasis added]
