    Um yeah, I think that's just too much. The mother saws that she believes that the child should say when to stop, what if they want to keep breast feeding into their teens?

    Weird. Creepy. Wrong.

    Seriously, a human being that old does not need those nutrients anymore.

    That is very common in some cultures where children are breastfed until they are 9. I have a guy friend's ex wife who had breastfed her daughter until she was 7. (Her family origin is a non-western culture.) The kid is 10 and is fine right now. She is a straight A student and all around good kid.

    Shared breast feeding was almost universal until recent times and it's only rather recent that it's considered "icky".

    Overall, I think it's a little odd in this culture, but it is a far cry from child abuse. A lot worse things happen to 8 year olds.

    My sentiments exactly... I have a breast feeding phobia to begin with so that just made me shudder.

    I don't have kids myself but when I do, I won't breastfeed them for years. But if another family wants to do it, who am I to say that it's wrong?

    I dont care what anyone thinks of my opinion. But I think thats disgusting.

    I think breastfeeding is amazing and great for children... but 8? I dont think so.

    i have no opinion on this. Different strokes for different folks. I'm interested in how it's affected their overall health and development.

    I saw this link before, and to be honest I couldnt watch it all the way through. I am very pro breastfeeding,and in THEORY I dont have a problem with it, but in reality it gave me the creeps. I have issues though, because of things that happened to me as a child I sometimes find it hard to cuddle my daughter without feeling icky (although she will never ever know it and I DO cuddle her) so the idea of breastfeeding an 8 yr old makes me a bit ill.

    I guess most importantly we DONT like in a society where this is the norm, and I worry about parents that bring their kids up in a way that others will find vastly unpalatable, just for how that might make the kid feel.

    That said, I breast fed my oldest til about 14 months and am planing on doing the same with this one, and a lot of pepople look at me like I am a freak for not putting her on a bottle at 6 months, so who am I to judge?

    I agree. An eight year old kid should NOT be drinking breast milk.

    My mom breastfed my brother until he was five. We have enjoyed teasing him about it his whole life.

    Oh no!! I didnt mean it like that. It's just breastfeeding and other child related issues have in the past resulted in major flaming here on SW.
    I was reluctant to even post my opinion in this thread coz I didn't want drama to start but since others have posted theirs and so far there isn't any flaming going on I will say that I don't think it's normal for a child to be breastfeeding at 8 and I had to close the link almost immediately coz I got grossed out.

    past age 4 is not useful physically in terms of passing immunities and all that, but that's an upper limit, with 1-2 years of breastfeeding being optimal from that perspective.

    I think by that age I think kids have sufficient teeth and jaw muscles and digestive tracks to eat their own foodd (mother's milk is effectively mom eating food for them, and converting it to a form that makes sense for kids that don't yet have the ability to eat it themselves).

    To be honest, I think mommy has some serious issues with letting her kids grow up and this is "all about her".

    Yeah, its creepy. Once my kids grow teeth, they can't put my boobs in their mouths. That's gonna be my new family rule.
    Sorry but these people look like weird, Euro hippies. It just seems too new-agey to say you let your kids decide when THEY want to ween from you. I'd let my kids pick their own names but they can't breast feed past 18 months or so.

    I am a huge supporter of BFing, but damn, that creeps me out. It just seems wrong after they are 2 or 3. I personally stop bfing between 12-18 mos or so. Once they are walking and starting to talk it causes a bunch of problems and they seem to want a sippy cup more anyway (trying to establish some independence from mommy). I've seen kids asking for the boob and trying to undress their mom in public and never want to deal with that.

    LOL. My mom says when I bit her when I was breastfeeding she flicked me in the head!
