Yep, more "B00bie" talk today.....
To all the men folk out there (If there are any) You may want to skip over this post.
Let's talk about Breastfeeding for a minute.
NO, I am not doing it at the moment but I have breastfed a couple of kids. I have also bottle-fed (Oldest daughter) Both Breast-feeding and Bottle-feeding worked for us so I am not going to sit here and tell you that you should do ONE over the OTHER. Nope, I am not like that. I do what I think is best for me and my child and you can do the same for you and your child.
ANYHOO....
I want to know HOW OLD IS TOO OLD? Thoughts???
I stopped breastfeeding my son when he was about 8 months old and he went to formula. He just stopped breastfeeding. He didn't want to do it anymore. Now my youngest daughter was nearly a year old when she stopped. She went from breast to sippy cup at age 1.
Now, I have heard of women doing it a little longer (Maybe age 2) but was flipping through the channels one night and came upon a sight that I just can not get out of my head.
The sight: A mom sitting on the couch with a rather large child in her lap breastfeeding. The LARGE CHILD was not just LARGE but she was 10 years old!
Yep, 10!
hmmmm......
I dunno guys, 10?? I just can't imagine why a 10 year old would still be breastfeeding. I mean at 10 they can actually move up to the Extra Value Meal at McDonalds and leave the Happy Meal behind. Ya know what I'm Saying?? Breastmilk?
At the end of the segment the news reporter had said that the girl decided to stop breastfeeding (NOT because she was embarrassed but rather because she lost her "suction" technique.)
:::shaking my head:::
Alrighty, I want to know what you guys think about this.
