I know not many people are pro breastfeeding let alone extended one but here i am i want to know how people react to this and what are their opinions and what do they base them on as i personally do support it and i am all pro for it.
There are many mums out there who are doing it for couple years and upto 5 years too.
There are some who are doing it even upto 10 years and i have read in paper or magazines that in some cases mums take it upto 15 years too but thats rare though.
What Girls & Guys Said
33 74I can't wait to be able to breastfeed my child
So you'll enjoy breastfeeding him/her
@sarahpo80102 it’s the most amazing thing I have ever felt in k my life. 🥰
Awww u will have the most amazing experience of ur life honey n u wouldn't want it to stop tbh
I'm ready tbh
Awww i wish u all the good sweetheart
Why does it matter?
If you can be gay and change your gender, then why the fuck argue over breastfeeding? Is it because you cannot "have a go?" It really makes me laugh when simpletons try and hide their hardon over bread feeding.
Quite a view of putting it in some other perspective but thanks for the support
we've seen in humans and other animals that the baby doesn't care where the milk comes from. they want a nipple and milk and that's it.
if a woman needs to lactate then she should do so in a bottle. pregnancy ruins most tits if they breastfeed. you don't agree? prove me wrong and send me post pregnancy perkies
Never read so many falsehoods in one place in my life. My tits aren’t close to ruined. Even if they were it still would have been beyond worth it. Babies need skin to skin, they need the perfectly designed milk from their mothers and they need it from her body. Mothers provide antibodies and probiotics specific to their own babies environment. The colostrum alone seals the gut and sets them up for a lifetime of gut health. @sevenpointfive please educate yourself before you come back.
@loves2learn i don't know what you misread but i never said i didn't agree with breastfeeding. i simply stated reasons/facts that they don't need to breastfeed from the mother
It is most definitely the best thing for them. If the baby cannot breastfeed from mother’s breast for some reason, then their mother’s fresh pumped milk is next best, her frozen milk is next and another mother’s breastmilk is next. Formula should be an emergency last resort. And I say this as someone who did send 2 oz of formula with my oldest because I didn’t pump enough.
@loves2learn see there? we do agree. i don't know why you jumped on me. i don't think kids should be breastfed after 3 years though
@sevenpointfive your comment was quite negative. Not sure why you felt to list the reasons why not to breastfeed. I breast fed my oldest for 3 years 4 months and my youngest until 5 days before his 4th birthday. Why after 3?
@loves2learn they need to start eating solids and they start teething
@sevenpointfive agreed. My sons started solids at 6 months and ate regular meals with the family at 1 year. They breastfed in between those times. Usually when getting ready to go to sleep or waking up.
I think enough is said by @loves2learn already n as far as the firmness or shape concerns... yes it changes a little but DOES NOT ruin them at all and i am telling u this both as a mum n as a professional coz if it was it would have impacted my work but it didn't at all
it changes most of women's shape. a very small percentage it doesn't
It does but it does not ruin it though
I don't like judging as long as they aren't hurting their child I have nothing against it... That being said it's still really fucking weird lol.
Thanks for not judging!
I dont think any child can get hurt in anyway because of this
@elizamichale1 you must've taken what I've said literally, that isn't what I meant. 😊
I took it as if u meant mentally as few other people said it hete
I was kinda going darker than that.. But maybe I'm alittle cynical, I'm sorry.
Oh darker how? No no i would like to know i always like discussions from different angles
I just meant, it sounds like a good way for really evil mothers to make it a gateway into sexual abuse. You know what I mean?
Are u referring to incest sort of stuff
Yes more or less, incest
@just_a_potato really evil mothers will sexually abuse, breastfeeding or not. Unfortunately.
@loves2learn I know that's true.. I just thought it was a good way for them to justify their actions, make it look less serious than it is. At least that's kind of what my mind was imagining.
As @loves2learn said if there's a mum like that she would do it anyway but breastfeeding can never be a source or tool of this honey
@just_a_potato the hormones released during breastfeeding actually bond mother and baby. I’d be willing to bet the incidence of abuse is lower with breastfed mothers. It’s truly not sexual and an incredibly loving thing we sacrifice our bodies for.
I didn't think about it that way
@loves2learn i completely agree
No, the first 6 months is enough.
Why only 6 months
Scientific research says that, not me. Never heard of it before?
Oh i have but then there are different research works which recommended more
@loves2learn you need to be all over this.
Would u mind narrating a bit please i mean @loves2learn needs to be all over in this in what sense
@elizamichale1 this isn't an answer to your opinion. My G@G girlfriend who I mentioned is really up on this topic. I have nothing to add just letting her know about the question in case she wanted to share an opinion.
Indeed. Thanks @coulis. @elizamichale1 she knows I extended boyfriend my kids. :)
Omg. Breastfed.
Yea got it and thanks for mentioning it to her I felt really happy reading her opinion
@loves2learn and you did great darling And your opinion on this is right on
@loves2learn LOL I was like what. Oh ok cool
Community @elizamichale1
😊😊
I have a vasectomy and don't really care it's a womans choice what she does w her kiddo... BUT!!! ONE TIME I fucked a chick who just had a baby and squeezed the boobies too hard... Got a surprise facial!
Yuuuup. That happens. Natural. Thanks for the support. 🥰
Hehe Thanks for opinion honey
I voted A, it's simple, if it is socially acceptable for guys to walk around topless, women should be able to breast feed in public. But where men can't sit topless at a restaurant for example, the same rule should apply to women. Try for true equality.
Also, most people were breastfed when they were younger, saying it's not acceptable makes you a hypocrite in my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
so true and thanks for the support at least you can identify when hypocrisy comes to play and you are right it should be equal for both men n women
No problem, avid believer in equality, and it works both ways, used to love convincing feminists to buy me a drink at a club at university 😄 nothing wrong with a girl asking a guy out in my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
hehe cheeky boy
Yes. Thanks for the support! Are you saying we shouldn’t be able to feed our babies in a restaurant where men can’t be topless? Because baby feeding is very different. When my babies need to eat they need to eat. No matter where we are.
Oh I'm very cheeky @elizamichale1. @loves2learn I'm not saying that, in my opinion, women should be able to go topless, same as a man in hot weather for example. Just not in places that forbid this. But women should be able to breast feed in restaurants freely for example. I know the law allows it, but I think if people feel uncomfortable with it, it's their problems not the woman and child's. In the same way, I'm Indian, and visiting Texas, some locals had a problem with me and my sister eating at their bar, because we were Indian. That's not our problem, it's theirs.
Perfectly said. 100% their problem not mine or yours. 🥰
Thank you kindly @loves2learn and @elizamichale1. Also, it's a restaurant, everyone is there to eat, including my nieces and nephews, they just happen to need their mum's milk instead of a fully loaded plate of chilli and triple cheese nachos like me 🤷🏽♂️ if the restaurant staff ask my sister in law to cover up, professionally speaking, that's what we call a dick move.
So true what u said U sound like a really sound minded person n i adore that
Thank you for the compliments, you're too kind and I don't deserve it.
@ronald_25 we’ve been excessively judged for extended breastfeeding our babies. I didn’t even have my husband’s support. Unfortunately. So it’s really refreshing to have the support. 🥰
@loves2learn yea it is very sadening thay majority of our society is very judgmental so yes its really pleasing to find every bit of support
I'm sorry you didn't have your partner's support @loves2learn, I know how that feels, it's horrible. I'm glad I could make you feel better with support 😊
😊😊😊
I say breastfeed how you want. Although if you do it publicly, don't get pissy if people stare. You plop those babies out in public, then expect some goggling.
Thanks for the support! Stare away! I don’t care. My baby’s gotta eat.
I personally wouldn't stare. Side glances at most. Unless you're looking right at me and pull the baby away. Then who knows. My jaw would probably drop. Lol.
Lol. I’m a nipple covering ninja by now.
Hahahaha. Awesome.
Yea pretty reasonable n i dont mind at all if someone gets a glance
What makes me wonder, would the child still get breast milk from
their mothers at age 5-10 years old, most likely nope all the milk
dried up so this makes my head think?
As long as the child continues to remove milk that long it’s a supply and demand thing.
@goodguybreakingbad It only dries up when the child completely stops nursing and the mother doesn't pump to keep it going i was able to produce drops of milk after stopping some years back.
@meetkitty123 Thanks for the info, see I need to learn more about the female. LMAO
No darling the supply doesn't stop till the children stop nursing completely or if we dont stop pumping it out
@elizamichale1 Thank you so much darling
I think it's a bad idea. Once they can they should be eating regular food, unless there's some big health benefit I'm unaware of.
Well there is so much research about it honey that its healthy for both the mum n the child
@snackthatsmilesback there are huge health benefits both for mom and baby. Breastfeeding for 7 years reduces the risk of breast cancer to zero (yay for me!) it also provides the child with emotional stability, closeness, skin to skin and a number of amazing antibodies and nutrients.
@loves2learn n on top of all that the emotional soothing is just so great
@elizamichale1 indeed, it’s instant. You can’t cry while nursing! ❤️
@loves2learn yeah😊😊
@loves2learn wait really? I thought you could still get breast cancer while breastfeeding. I guess if it reduces the risk though that's still good. What if they get bullied at school because of it? Would you want to homeschool them until they stopped or later so it would be easier and you could be closer? What if you adopt a kid at age 4 or something? Would that be a good thing to do in that case even if it had already stopped breastfeeding for several years? What if you had a kid but only did it for 1 year and they're older than 7 now? At some age it has to no longer be beneficial enough to be a good idea, right?
Well why does one need to inform school n classmates that the child still breastfeeds huhh N in case of adoption at 4 or the child who weaned at 1 n all that... good for them... its not as such honey that we need to force every child onto breastfeeding even if they have stopped...
Well no but I assume you don't want the kid to be ashamed of it. Really random things can come up in conversation with kids. And yeah don't force it, but even if both parties are willing there has to be a point where it becomes more weird than beneficial, right?
Ofcourse not They should be comfortable n well by doing this we can overcome the fact that this is some sort of weird or embarrassing situation n such kids can grow so mature n tolerant
I guess that's true. I don't think I'll be able to change how I see it until it's significantly more normalized though, so I wouldn't expect too much from kids at first either.
I overheard my 4 year old talking to another 4 year old about how much they liked mama milk. They aren’t alone. And kids don’t make fun of each other at that age.
Well there u have an example of a 4 year old from @loves2learn
@loves2learn right. I just argued something on similar basis like an hour ago, I didn't think of this in the same way though. But now I can't think of anything really wrong with it so I guess you're just right. Thanks for taking time to explain it.
Aww! @snackthatsmilesback you are welcome! Anytime. That’s literally why I’m here on GaG. :) Also, I was just watching Cartoon Network and the goldfish commercial sang your handle. Lol
@loves2learn haha nice. I actually haven't eaten gold fish in years but now I want to.
I have 2 young boys. Goldfish are a staple here. Lol
We breast fed all our kids. We had our kids pretty close together so usually the gravy train was over around 18 months to make room for the next one.
Makes complete sense. :)
Well i m still breastfeeding them
they are 42 already 😂😂😂😂
@exitseven how quickly they grow 😭
I support whatever the mother decides is best for her children.
@bowenw thank you for the support. ☺️❤️
@loves2learn 🤗🤗
Thanks for great opinion honey
Thanks for the excellent question honey. 🤗👍
😊😊😘
That is up to the mother. For me 6 months was long enough.
This is very true. It’s a 2 way relationship (or 3 with twins). If one party is ready to be done, nothing wrong with stopping.
@loves2learn @lucyloo76 hehe yea like me its between 3 of us me n my twins But i am going to keep doing it for a while though
Yeah that's my thoughts so it's up to the mother
Thanks for the support @chattyguy43!
@loves2learn Your welcome
I still expressed my milk. And gave it to her in a bottle. I found this better, husband could still feed her leaving me to put my feet up. I know it's going off a little. But my husband was drinking the milk left over in the fridge.
But doing directly from ur breasts leaves a whole lot of different level of soothing on kid tbh N yes guys do that My husband also loves to drink my milk n usually adds it in his coffee hehe
People oppose breastfeeding?
oh yes a lot tbh whenever i am at it with my boys i would get looks from some and some even walk upto me to ask me to stop
Omg. They do. Especially in the US. I HATED being judged.
@loves2learn well it is same in here too honey n definitely its hateful
The fuck
Yea exactly
Welcome to the US lmfao 😂
@valid9inches no joke 🙄
@loves2learn trust me i have lived in the US most of my life and honestly still can't understand people here its like they can hold multiplayer contradictory ideas in their head and build their whole beliefs system off of it and somehow are totally blind to that hypocrisy or contradiction and also with a little masochism sprinkled on top lmfao 😂
@vald9inches so true. Me too. Lived here my whole life and I am baffled.
I have no idea about breastfeeding. I don't know if at some point it becomes unhealthy for the child or the mother. If it doesn't, I think it's perfectly acceptable.
However, if the child is already in school and still being breastfed, he or she will probably be bullied at school.
I myself (if I were a woman with a baby) would breastfeed for as long as it is healthiest.
Well it doesn't become unhealthy at any point honey The only issue is what u pointed already n coz we can't really change people's opinions but we can keep doing it secretly though
Correct. It never becomes healthy. And children don’t need to disclose it. In fact, in my experience, children don’t tend to bully or make fun of classmates until around 5th grade. My son brought wipes to school in 2nd grade to help in the bathroom. None of the kids batted an eye.
@loves2learn yeah u r right till 5th grade things tend to remain pretty calm
then, since it doesn’t get unhealthy, mother and child should do it as extended as they want 🙂 and after elementary school as you said they could do it secretly to avoid bullying. Since you said that many people are against extended breastfeeding and since some voted D and G: no one is harmed due to extended breastfeeding, therefore (apart from protecting your child from bullying), what people think about it should not be of any concern at all in your thoughts.
Thanks for the support @tonytoutouni123. :) ❤️
@loves2learn 😘
Yup you said it so right darling Tbanks
@elizamichale1 ☺️
Breastfeeding is natural and if you feel the need to do it more then by means do so. But not everyone is okay with it. I personally enjoy just sucking on the nipples generally
Huh? Your statement is so confusing. My children and I had an incredible bond that we continued. I don’t care if others are ok with it or not.
@loves2learn how dependent is that bond on your kids sucking your tits but.. just cuddle them
It gradually morphs into cuddling, which is where it is now. But until they were close to 4 it was the comfort of sucking and drinking my warm milk.
Well thanks for the support honey but tbh there will always be people who won't be ok with almost anything u do so u can't really make ur decisions based on if people will be ok or not...
If the kids can walk up to the boob, it's time to cut the kid off.
Nope. There is absolutely zero correlation between walking and breastfeeding.
No not really darling there's nothing to do between walking n breastfeeding tbh
@loves2learn yes true
luckey girl boy can have brest feeding up to 3 years old wow wonderful they will be cognative redey and sharp i suport it all because it is good for girls boys
@panman444 thanks for the support. :)
You are wonderfully supportive Thanks
If that's your thing, you do you. For me, the cut off point is when they have teeth. Baby teeth are especially sharp.
Yea it was troublesome when sometimes they bit but gradually they got used to it n stopped biting
That's good, but I think I'll stuck to my cut off point.
Hehe fair enough
My babies were so polite! They didn’t bite me. 🥰
@loves2learn aww lucky u then😊😊
