Zone1 Breastfeeding A Two and Five Year Old?

[DukeU]

I have one. I know of a situation in which a five year old put his mouth on the breast of a woman not his mother. He sees it as comfort. He doesn't understand the boundaries. That's because he's been bf entirely too long and for the wrong reasons.

All the posters here, including a nurse and a teacher, think this is out of bounds but you keep defending it. Yikes?

Most people don't see anything wrong with feeding kids Cheetos and Coke, so.

Obviously. For a baby. Maybe a one year old.

Not a kindergartener.

Opinion.

11 Benefits of Breastfeeding for Both Mom and Baby


The benefits of breastfeeding are so numerous that most health agencies recommend it for everyone for as long as possible, barring medical problems that prevent it.

These aren’t babies. Humans lose the ability to break down lactose at around 2-3 years of age. And the options aren’t breast milk or Cheetos and coke.

You’re aware 2 things can be wrong at the same time right?

Some do.

No one in my family is lactose intolerant, no one.

Could lactose intolerance be connected to the fact that many people don't breast feed at all? or that most who do stop by 6 months?

Everyone loses the ability to break down lactose. It doesnt make you lactose intolerant.

I have no idea but that has zero to do with the fact that all humans lose the ability to break it down. Mostly because you aren't supposed to be on your momma's tit much past that age.

You're going to have to back that up with something other than your own opinion.

I have no idea

Now, this I can believe.

My comment is this:
A boy who is still breastfeeding at five years old will probably never see another tit in his life.

I guess it depends on whose mother.

My ex switched to bottles so fast it made my kids heads spin....
