How Old Is Too Old?

I see my previous response got deleted for being irrelevant, and yet some others appear to be of a similar ilk.....*rubs chin* Sorry if I offended you, LMB, it was not my intention.

I usually no longer produce my own milk after 3-4 months of giving birth. And I think that is fine coz there are infant formulas that can provide them the nutrition that they need. I mean, even though I would love to continue feeding that way, I could not do anything about it. Most especially at 6 months, where kids usually start to have their first front teeth. That could be painful! Ouch! With 4 years old kids? That is way too old.

Hello lovingmybabies, I think 4 years is very old. I´ve br3astfeed my kids for a year. And I think they were already old enough. My mother br3astfeed me three months. But my mom in law was bre3stfed til she was three years, but I think she was very old. Blessings... dainy

Hi loving, I watched that also..but I had to turn to another station because it was just not working for me..I thought that was quite wierd,,,But the mother wasn't giving in she was standing her grounds...

In my own opinion, 4 years old is already old enough, but there are really mother who are doing that. I think it should be stopped for it will make the baby too dependent to the mom, or I'm not an expert but I'm just thinking about the nutrition the baby can get since he's already old.

I think once the child has teeth... for the mother's own sake they are too old. :|

My lights are that no one has the right to dictate how long a nursing relationship between a mother and child lasts except for that mother and child.
