Breastdeeing A 9 Year Old?
#26834841 - 07/20/20 07:31 PM (3 years, 6 months ago) |

My coworker was showing me a Facebook page about breastfeeding. There was one post asking the longest women had breastfed for.
There was a surprising amount of women who said 4, 5, 6 even 7. a lot of them would be like "I breastfed my youngest until 50 months" like your child's fuckin' 4 years old, once two years have elapsed stop measuring his age in months. thats kind of an ancillary point but it kinda bugs me and It seems like a sign of a mother who wants to extend infancy.
One woman said she doesn't produce milk anymore but still lets her 5 year old suck her boobs to calm him down.
So I looked up the longest documented case of this madness and found that a woman in the UK didn't stop breast feeding her daughter until she was 9. 9. She claims its caused an extreme bond between them and that her daughter doesn't get sick.
Put aside any sexuality or grossness, I just think thats the behavior of an oedipal mother. children should gain independence at some point. I'm no pediatric psychologist but I feel like they shouldn't be treated like babies and Molly coddled by their mother that late.
Doctors say its not nutritionally beneficial for that long but even if you beleive for some reason it is, pump it out and put it in a cup at least, you know what I mean?
What do you guys think?

-------------------- Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Ha I just watched an american dad episode on this topic funny and strange.
I'm a dad and I give my little girl her morning and night bottle's its a pretty special thing. I love spending these times with her. ( keep in mind that I don't breast feed)
I can understand anyone wanting to hold onto these time.
But at the end of the day you have to do whats going to benefit your child not what you want to hold onto.
Also my wife stepping back from breast feeding gave me a chance to step in and share the load.

I put two years because I don’t know shit so I’m going off gut instinct and where it gets weird.
Another auxiliary point I would like to touch on is when someone says “my baby 4 month year old”.. you can’t say “year old” until the baby is a year old 
I judge people who say that shit SO hard bro..

I still breastfeed my four year old boy, but as a man it does seem a bit out of place.

I can see a three year old still going for a boob feed if they can get one, but certainly with my kids they decided they didn't want to be babies anymore at a particular age. High chairs, potties, and baby stuff was completely unacceptable. Happens about 4 y\o.

Reminds me of a scene from Game of Thrones...
Apparently I didn't breastfeed for very long, I believe less than a year.

If they can eat food they don't need breast milk/formula.

If it's a step mom, maybe 20-30yo? (or until they get a GF?)

I don't think it's oedipedal or sexual in any way(lol maybe I sort of have to tell myself that with some of the more extreme examples because the possibility that it is sexualized by someone out there freaks me out too much??), just like breastfeeding in general is just not in any way a sexual act, but it definitely is..something to breastfeed until 9. I've never breastfed, I don't plan to(I don't plan to have bio kids in general), but I know a lot of ladies that have done it and it seems fucking ridiculously hard sometimes. Painful, complicated, exhausting, burns a fuck ton of calories apparently, literally like a little creature sucking the life out of you via your tits.
But I digress,
I do think it's a little crazy to breast feed a child until 9 - seems like that would stunt so much psychological growth. Gotta let your kid grow up. That's the whole point???
The WHO and most health organizations recommend breastfeeding to at least age one - two is the more common age I see where they recommend weaning, and honestly I don't really see much wrong with people who give the gives a few years on the tit, but I think the key is finding out at which point it starts to stunt them and hinder development. I would think nature would sort it out for me pretty well in the first two years and I probably would struggle to keep going if anything. But one thing I've learned about not having kids it basically just to keep my mouth shut . Oh and that all your plans are basically trash when it comes to actually having a child in practice, so I really can safely say I only know that I know nothing .

9 is well into "it's weird and certainly 100% unnecessary" territory I think. Growing up I knew a mom or two who still breastfed kids of 3 or 4.

Seems like anything past kindergarten age is unnecessary.

Breast feeding a 9 y/o isn’t just a “little weird” or anything “minor”....it’s beyond fucked.
