I understand bed sharing, but the breastfeeding thing that long is too much.

[Victorian Squid]

I used to have a friend who's mom tried to make her breastfeed when she was an older kid, but her mom was schizophrenic. She also liked to shut her in a big cardboard box, and told her her grandparents were going to poison her.

[Lord Ice]

The kid looking at the camera is creepy enough, but it might have been creepier if the kid had been focused and enjoying what he was doing.

[oogy]

The kid on the cover is supposedly 3.

My son who is 2-1/2 still nurses at night to go to sleep and occasionally during the day if he gets real upset about something and won't calm down.

Extended breastfeeding will not lead to bed wetting, or any other stupid shit that people want to try and make up.

Is it creepy, that's up to you. Is it wrong, that's up to the family.

I remember bring in a greyhound once a few years back visiting family. In the seats in front if me a kid who must've been like 8 was being breast fed.

Someone on the bus said something and her and her husband hot riled up and caused shit saying what they were doing was natural.

It was a long 2.5 hour ride

The bed sharing can be dangerous. Emily(daughter, a month old today) sleeps in a little sleeper in our room, not attached or next to our bed and occasionally will sleep on one of us as a nap.

The wearing is nothing new. Front packs and slings have existed forever.

The breasfeeding thing...yeah we're gonna stop that probably by the time Emily starts to cut a bunch of teeth.

So exactly what is the benefit then? Because kids can be calmed down without sucking on a titty. What is the purpose behind this?

[Victorian Squid]

Ooooh, this is all that "attachment parenting" stuff that grown-up-Blossom is into:

I have to admit, some of the stuff sounds fairly odd and some of it makes sense. I'm sure there are parents who are good at it and terrible at it, just like all kinds of parents, but I listened to an interview in the car with Blossom about it and frankly she did sound like a nutball at times.

Also, it seems strongly tied to fear of vaccinations and certain medical advice.

The benefit is that it works. I'm not talking about calming him down when he falls down or doesn't get what he wants and cries for a minute. I'm referring to full blown meltdown where he screams and cries and nothing else works.

I'm not trying to say that everyone should breast feed for a set amount of time. I'm just saying that do whatever you feel is right for your family.

I do not think I agree with the idea of "nothing else works."

But I'm actually kinda serious about finding out what the alleged benefits of this are, because...hey, anything that convinces hot chicks to whip their tits out in public...well, it's something I might consider supporting. Only thing is, I'm not especially enthusiastic about googling this particular subject. I mean, I'll be honest; the Internet has burned me before when it comes to titties and children...

almost 4, IIRC

There is a big difference between 4 and 2 1/2 at that young an age.

At what point do you cut cord?

[Wisdom000]

Shit's kinda weird. People are always doing weird shit and then crapping out some science to argue that it's beneficial.

All I gotta say is, if I gotta stand in line behind a bitch's 7 year old to do some titty-licking, then that little nigga can do other grown-up shit, like getting a job and paying some taxes. You had your shot at titty, kid. Ain't fair to keep hogging that shit.

YES.

Plus, it can;t be good for the titty to keep producing milk for that long... the little drunken mistake is gonna ruin dem dirty pillows... nipe 6 inches long and floppy, tits all flat and lifeless...

Buut this is just one more way we are turning the human race into a bunch of sissies...

Where the hell is Major Payne when we need him..."I didn't stutter, I said pop-your-titty-out-his-mouth AND STOP BABYING HIM"

[Lord Simian]

Anybody else a bit uncomfortable with the fact that someone just quoted MAJOR PAYNE in a serious discussion?

[GOSD]

When the teeth come in, stop.

Christ, oogy. Get that kid off the tit.
