Alot of people answered my question about breastfeeding kids until they are like 4 years old saying that it was okay and all of that but alot agreed with me that it is wrong and sickening.
Let me ask you this :If it is okay to feed your kid your breast when they are 3-4-5 years old then do you still take baths with them also?
People usually stop taking baths with their kids when they are like 2-3.
But since some say they breastfeed a kid when they are four years old do you feed them before and after pre-school?
That is so sickening, sorry but i think it is.

I think past the age of 2 is not right. You need to start teaching a child to be independent not still have them hanging off your tit. I think that this is more about a mothers insecurity. The child as this point does not need the breast milk for nutrition. As far as taking baths WHY? A child this age can pee or poop in the tub do you really want to sit in that. Call me old fashioned but I don't think this is a good idea either. Sounds like a bunch of insecure moms that approve of all of this stuff. Moms....cut the cord.

Do you have kids??? I don't breast feed my 5 year old, but I do bath with her. Why is that wrong?
I do breast feed my month old baby, and will continue to do so until I feel that my baby and I are both ready to stop. Breastfeeding your child is the BEST thing you can do for your child!
If your thinking that breast feeding is some how a sexual act your weird.....boobs were MADE for feeding children!!! not for men to stare at.
And since when has bath with kids been disgusting?!?! yeah sure if your child is in their teens and developing...that's a bit different, but a small child should not be even thinking with an adult mind, and if they are well some thing is really wrong with this world!!!

I agree that it is not necessary for a child to be breastfeed past the age of about two or three. I wouldn't call it sickening but I agree that it is going over the top.
Many people argue that the world wide age for weaning is five years. You know what? That's because most of the world is still undeveloped. The only source of nutrition IS breast milk for them.
In Asia they have breast-milking competitions where women compete and figure out who produces the most breast milk. They actually do this in many other countries. Should we do that too?
My husband was breastfeed until he was four years old. He resents his mother for that. She now admits that she just didn't want to let go of him. That grosses both me and my husband out. These women should start thinking about their children and how they may feel about it 10 years down the road.
Either way, it is not your place nor mine to judge. Perhaps these women have a hard time letting go. Perhaps these women feel they are doing the best thing for their children. I support everyone's right to choose what they feel right for themselves and their children. In no way are these women damaging their children so I don't see why it is such a big deal! Criticizing people doesn't make a difference. People do what they want.

I am a preschool teacher and I breastfed all three of my children. The longest I nursed one of them was 13 months. When they are old enough to drink out of a cup, that is what they should be drinking out of. If you insist they have your breast milk, pump it! It is sickening to have a toddler or older child suckling a breast. It seems like pedophilia.
I believe it is okay to bathe with your children as long as they aren't old enough to start getting aroused by the sight of a naked body.

It is sick and disturbing to see a preschooler sucking on their mother's boob. They don't need breast milk after the age of one. Most parents justify breastfeeding a preschooler by saying that they bond and it makes their child happy. I don't know about you but I find MANY other ways of showing my children love.
As for baths, the only time my kids ever took a bath with me is when we are on vacation and only when they are babies. If they don't need a bath seat, they don't need to bathe with me.

you are a funny child aren't you....
I breast feed... I have a thirteen month old that I nurse at night... and if he still has need of nursing in a month, two or till he is two? then that is fine.. breast is best...
would I nurse my children at 3,4,5? no... but that is MY choice to make... and if a mother is not uncomfortable.. finds that it is not something that is "wrong" and she finds it is benefical to her child? who are you to judge?
let me tell you something.... it is people like you that perpetuates this issue of problems/insults between people who nurse and people who bottle feed... and leave both sides feeling they need to then turn around and insult the other side.. or defend their choices?! that is the first thing I will tell you...
wanna know why I feel I have a right? I am an adult.. your elder too! yep... old, old old... and? I am nurser and bottle feeder! so I agree with the pros and cons both sides offer up.... I was bottle fed as a baby... and I turned out pretty ok..... I have bottle fed my babies, one was exclusively bottlefed...but I have formula on hand even now and my son gets it during the day... I have breast fed them too....until I start weaning? it is all the time.. and when I start weaning, morning and night feedings with formula in a cup during the day...... both have benefits.. both have pros and both cons... now? why else do I feel the I have a right and duty to talk to you like this? you spoke rudely.. insultingly... your question? idiocy! so that is what you deserve to have given back...
let me ask you something... how long did you give your baby formula?! they have formula stages... for over twelve months... did you see them? better for baby/toddler than milk till five! oh MY GAWD! wouldn't that be the equal to I don't know.. nursing till five? eeww? no way... so the experts say that baby should have something like breast milk (you know.. the formula) till five years of age? hmmmm... so whether it is thru a bottle, cup or right from the source, mommy, why should you have a problem with someone else's choice? you call it sickening? I say if it is good for baby and you are comfortable? go for it... and let the feeble minded sit and say "eeww, gross" while they take out the formula (cause cows milk is not best.. and you do give your baby the best... right?!) and give the same thing that nursing mommies give!
and now you are expert on "how old a child should be when they do not take baths with another? unreal! it is this society that turns something innocent.... something as simple as taking a bath into something else.... why, may I ask is it wrong?is it because a three/four yr is curious about themselves? ooohh.. they might see that they have the same (or different) parts and ask questions? guess if you can't answer... it does take some maturity.... is there something a two to three year old is thinking that makes it wrong? no... the parent? you are the only sick one I see... I don't know.. see? I figure God made me? he does not make junk... and?? he did NOT make my clothes... my shame (or Eve's) did that... so I allow my children to grow without the shame... but with the knowledge they cover up and all that.... hmmm.. you go ahead and teach your children to feel shame at their bodies if you choose... funny.... thought it was my choice what was best for my children... thought that freedom from persecution was why my ancestors boarded the mayflower and founded this country!
I have a four yr old daughter.. she takes showers with me at times... she slips a lot in there... and I have had to catch her... so luckily I am not as grossed out as you at something so innocent as a child who wants to do "big girl" things like mommy.... and for some odd reason, copy the way I wash my hair... and to spend time with me... wow.. do you think she might be sick? and I have a three yr old boy who just has to be allowed to do everything his sister does..... he joins me too at times... and yes.. when they ask can I get in the tub and have a tea party? I do! I may not want to get into lukewarm water with toddlers.. but they are thrilled that I would put bubbles on my face and pretend to drink tea with them and they giggle and laugh and have fun! darn those might turn into fun type memories they will carry forever!
sickening are people who feel the need to point their nubby little fingers and insult what they do not have the strength/insight or intelligence? to do...
I do not usually get upset at shallow, small minded people but this your insultingly ignorant question all geared to what? make yourself feel better? I gather that only from your "a lot agreed with me that it is wrong and sickening" and guess what? a lot more than "a lot" felt you were an insecure, immature child who is in need of constant reassurance due to insecurites....
well... sorry I was not one of the ones that could see your enlightened way of raising an insecure, shamed, judgemental child... too busy raising happy, healthy well adjusted adults here...
