If you breastfeed your child for too long (past the age of 1) does that really affect the deeping of his voice?
#2
Is there a problem if a 3-year-old still drinks out of a bottle and doesn't eat solids?

I never heard of it affecting the deeping of his voice but do you really want to be the mother who still breastfeeds while the child goes to daycare and 2..... i think it can be a problem if you child isnt eating solids at the age of three.... drinking out of a bottle isnt that big of a deal but doesnt the food increase thier height and and weight and stuff like that... im not sure but if i were you id start feeding that kid some real food

1. Absolutely not.
2. Yes. There isn't a problem with a child nursing at that age. And some children may still be taking a bottle - though taking a bottle too long might cause orthodonic and dental problems (nursing won't - nursing actually helps prevent those things), but in either case the child should be eating a lot of solid at that age. Not to have any is a serious problem which may lead to other health issues such as severe anemia.

Breastfeeding does not affect the voice.
As for the 3 year old still on the bottle, that is a problem. A child should be weaned off a bottle and on a sippy cup around 1 year old. They should also be able to handle eating solid foods by 12-18 months. You really need to speak to your pediatrician about this.

#1 never heard this myth, but most cultures around the world wean at age 4- do other cultures have voice abnormalities?
#2 I do not have an issue w/ a 3 year old having a bottle, but solids should be eaten too by this age. Does the child have any other developmental delays?

Um...#1 is a myth. That just doesn't make sense at all.
#2--I find it very disturbing that a 3 yr. old is drinking from a bottle. My 3 yr. old is in tae kwon do, on a bowling league, played baseball this year and is getting ready to start soccer. He also reads and does basic math. I cannot imagine him carrying around a bottle doing all of that. I cannot imagine his peers carrying bottles to all their games and functions. A three year old is no longer a toddler There is something very wrong if you have or know of a child that age drinking from a bottle and not eating solids.

The breastfeeding question is a new one to me. I never heard of such a thing! I breastfed until 2 1/2, and my kid has a normal voice!
A 3 year old drinking out of a bottle, isn't such a big deal,though it is a good year to talk them out of it gradually, because pre-schools will put him in the "baby" class if you don't. BUT no solid foods sounds very bad........isn't he malnourished? He should have been on solid foods for 2 years by now. WHAT does your doctor say? (does he eat "some" food, but just more milk?)

I never heard of your first question, but i always heard that if a child drinks from a bottle too long after the teeth come in it can cause teeth problems. I'm not really sure about that but i would talk the doctor about it. I do know that my children's dentist constantly warned about the hazards of juice on teeth. My nephew's front teeth rotted out because he was drinking too much juice. So if that is what the 3-year old is drinking please brush his/her teeth frequently. I don't remember when my children started eating solids but it was before they were 3.

First Q, I've never heard of such a thing I knew a girl who Breastfeed her child until almost 4years old and he didn't have a deeper voice (but i found it strangely disturbing) Second Q, yes a big problem one they are not learning to chew properly and may not be receiving all the proper nutrients essential for their development

I don't really know the answer to #1.
I DO think there is a problem for #2.
A three year old does NOT need a bottle and he/she needs to eat solids for nutrition and health.

#1 - No. We were all breast fed for 1 1/2 years and my brothers have some of the deepest voices I've ever heard. Besides, scientifically it makes no sense.
#2 - Yeah, serious problem. SERIOUS. This child is more likely to be obese in the future and suffer from food allergies.
