What do you think the proper age to breast feed a child to is?
I made the switch from breast to bottle at around 8 weeks for my kids. Would you even remotely consider breastfeeding your 8-year old?
Yes I said, 8 year old. This woman

Seriously, I thought the person that sent me this was KIDDING. My jaw was on the floor when I saw it was just a documentary style video. I'm a Mom and I'm all for breastfeeding your kiddos but that's just Ewwwwwwww

@simon - colostrum is what comes before the mature milk and you're right it's excellent for building up a baby's immune system. I saw that ad for women making mother's milk ice cream.... and on the flip side - they wouldn't be selling it if there wasn't a market for it. I can't really say I would be a buyer LOLOLOL...that just sounds nasty. I don't buy cow's milk and I certainly wouldn't buy human milk.

Dang I thought it was bad that, my daughter was almost one and still attached!! lol I understand in some countries its excepted but here there are so many other means. There have been studies done that say that after a year the breast milk doesn't give anything regular food doesn't so there is no point. So instead of it having nutritional value still it will cause other issues like umm what will other kids think if they find out seriously how do you live that down with your peers they remember things like that!!

@Jenny - so true. I'd say the majority of my friends breastfed throughout the first year but most alternated food/breast when their baby was ready to start solids - the closeness and bond is so special. But yeah, 8 is just too much.

Wow, 8yrs? Nooo, they are now stimulating her. It is good to breast feed but not that much.
