Is extended breastfeeding acceptable?
Whats your take on Extended Breastfeeding as it is becoming pretty common these days.
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.

  • It's all upto an individual, their phsyical health, the job type all these quotients play a role. Many females find it difficult to express milk, which is frustating as well. But all PRO for it... Feed for life and not some dumb peekers and negative attitude folks

    • yup absolutely true n thanks for beautiful opinion honey

  • Toddlers should be weaned off the breast by about two years old, if they don't wean themselves off sooner naturally.
    Kids and moms can still bond with holding, cuddle-time, etc. , so that is pretty much a non-issue.
    I have just seen too many of these situations where it seems that the mom is just after the notoriety and supposed "shock value" of a teen pulling teat!
    And I am a Massage Therapist, so I have seen just about anything there is to see, so that isn't an issue with me. : - )

    • Thanks for sharing darling but there are still benefits after 2 though

    • I could think of a benefit for me, and I'm well into Medicare age. :- ) I can certainly see the continuing benefits, it's just these "shock jocks" that want to sexualize a very natural happening for mammals!

    • Well its never anything sexual when it comes to ur own kids darling

  • I honestly dont know enough about it to have an opinion.. I know i have a bad answer here, but im just ill informed.

    • Thank you for not imparting judgment upon something you haven’t researched. ☺️

    • Aww u r soo cute But thanks, maybe u can learn a little by reading here about it

    • i plan to. The only thing i know for sure, Breast feeding, assuming the mother is not on drugs, or cigarettes, or alcohol, is Way better than formula. but that's where my knowledge ends.

  • Yes, I think it's acceptable up until the child is 5-6 at most. Older than that... it seems weird.

    • Mind suggesting why it would be weird after that

  • I wish I couldve been breastfed till I was 15 but I was the last child to taste my mums breast so I think she may have stopped when I was 3 years old, I honestly couldnt remember.
    I think its weird that mums continue to feed till 15, but it depends on the mum I guess and how she feels about it, if the kids still demand it then it's their call really. As long as she has a steady supple of milk and her nipples are in good condition, then I say cool, go for it, it's accaptable to me.

    • Yea thats how it should be N thanks

  • As long as you keep orgasming

    • Orgasming from breastfeeding ur kids? I dont think u are going to find a single mum saying that honey

  • Yeah, I think many women stop breastfeeding too early. That doesn't mean you should go till they're 15, but breastfeeding a few years at least seems like a good idea and probably very healthy. For both mother and child

    • Yea all the research shows its healthy for both mum n the children

    • I 100% agree. It is very healthy for both the mother and child. Most children will self wean between the ages of 2-7. Outliers might be 10. Very rare to go past that.

    • Yeah, I think going at least until they self-wean makes a lot of sense. There might be a time when it makes sense to wean them yourself, especially if you're going to have more kids. I do wonder how it would affect someone psychologically if they were nursing past the age of five though

  • I am fir ut bc of breast cancer and calmness and health reasons... i have bug breasts but do it at home only not in public and can still breast feed my kids... thanks for posting

    • I adore u for that coz this is one of the best things a mum can give to her kids

    • @singlebimom love it. 🥰

  • While I wouldn't ban it, I don't think it's normal or healthy. Especially if you take it to Lysa/Robin Arryn levels.

    • it is always healthy

  • If doctors say it's ok who cares what others think?

    • They r absolutely fine honey

    • 100%

    • @loves2learn oh hey sweetie how have u been

  • I'm sorry, but that's weird. I feel like if they can eat solid food then they should be eating solid food.

    • @jamie05rhs they do start eating solid food gradually at 6 months. Breastfeeding is SO MUCH more than nutrition. It’s and incredibly special relationship and bond between mother and child.

    • My kids were eating meals with the family at a year and still breastfeeding at wake and sleep times. Breastfed kids manage emotions and transitions at the breast.

    • Okay. Well, I'll defer to you on this one. Since you're a mother and I'm not lol.

  • I don't know all the science behind it. I just feel breast feeding after 18 months is too long. A calf doesn't feed off an utter when its after infancy why should human

    • Try differentiating between a calf n a human honey

    • Just saying a baby is fed by mothers milk. By 18months that baby should have teeth and eating whole foods. No reason to breastfeed after that. Unless you are super healthy you are losing a lot of nutrients in your body and bones just to keep producing milk for a toddler. You are a free person do what you want with your child. You ask the question I stated an opinion

    • @trudrew88 that’s what’s so wonderful. They eat meals with the family and breastfeed in between. Weaning by definition is a slow process, not a sudden stop. :)

  • No wonder I have such a fixation on boobs, lol.

    • Awww! Did your mother breastfeed you past infancy? ❤️❤️

    • @loves2learn No, lol. I was just being a wise ass. 😂

    • You are a wise ass. Lol

  • I don't know i always feel jealous from those kids 😂

    • I loved that scene! I felt validated.

    • There is no need. It’s their mother so no need to think incestuously and turn it into something vile.

  • Yeah I’m still on the tit.

    • N thats great hehe

  • I don't really have an opinion on it. But I was surprised when you said "a lot of people are not prp breastfeeding." Is that true? And do I understand you correctly? Are there really a decent number of people out there who don't think people should breastfeed at all?

    • Oh yes there are quite a lot darling n it never makes sense why

    • There is a lot of people that are not against breastfeeding but they make big noise about breastfeeding in public as if it is not natural. They are used to the female body being seen as a sexual and don’t understand what boobs were meant for.

    • @likelyOK yeah right on spot i have had many such experiences

  • That’s a turn off but I believe it should be up to 6 months or 8 months maximum 1 year only and breastfeeding is not fun in any way.

    • Turn off? Really? Well no its not fun its not even supposed to... its just bond darling

    • How is breastfeeding a turn off? I am sorry breastfeeding was not enjoyable for you. I had an incredible bonding experience breastfeeding my sons.

    • @elizamichale1 I was saying that women that exposes their tits publicly without covering it with something at least is a turn off. We see things differently you find it okay & I see it the other way around. 👍🏻 Also I was saying a turn off to me because after 1 year maximum I won’t keep breastfeeding even tho I know all the facts of mothers milk to a baby’s & mother’s health yet my opinion won’t change regarding this. Once the baby starts eating, breastfeeding is over in my book and there are many other replaceable things for it. @loves2learn thanks. Hope you and your kids stay healthy and safe 👍🏻 All opinions are okay and respected 👋🏻

  • Lol I love these polls for obvious reasons. Nah either way eventually that boy or girl will grow out of it themselves. Whatever floats your boat.

    • Yeah, thanks for the opinion

    • Awww. So true. Thanks for the support.

    • @loves2learn 😊😊

  • You might want to check my profile because I have a similar question on my GaG question.

    • And my best friend breastfed her son until he was 3 years old.

    • N i think she did great But why did she stop though

  • Nothing wrong with breastfeeding.

    • Absolutely not It is actually one of the most beautiful things to do tbh

    • Hell yeah it is. Just like a womans body. Free the nipple!! 😜

    • Hehe i would definitely support that
