Personally I don't believe that but that really is my own view if the oldest is hungrier then the mum will struggle to produce sufficient for both I've met a few who've attempted it. if the natural weaning age is 2-4 then by 6 this little lady should by rights be more than ready.

i feel uncomfortable judging about what women do to care for children. i'm a man so really i can't judge.

i'm only speaking from what i've noticed and or read. i don't think this woman should be persecuted or face any legal consequences, i'm just expressing my personal opinion.

Poor kid.

It's one thng still sucking on the end of a titty at 6, its a sin and shame when your mother posts you at it for all to see on social media.
I should imagine she will have to have tough little shoulders to carry all the stck she will get from her peers, especially as she gets older.
The age does appear oddly old to me, but then mine were off baby milk of any kind at 6 and 4 months respectively:shrug:
Ohhhh, and neither of them Have suffered in any way from it.

I guess, relevant to the thread topic, whether this is child driven or driven by the mother worth a personal crusade / not wanting her baby to grow up (both of these things do happen of course)... It certainly has absolutely nothing to do with sexual gratification or "paedophilia".

I maintain that anyone who sees breastfeeding and immediately make some connection to sex, are the ones who have a problem that they should look into.

I agree TS, I don't think it has anything to do with sexual gratification at all.
Perhaps it makes either/both of them feel more secure or loved.
I just think it is wrong to go so public with it , for the child's sake.

That much I agree with, many parents are far too quick to disregard their children's privacy and autonomy and assume that they have the right to decide for them. That applies to all sorts of things really... I can't stand it when parents think that they "own" their kids.

... I actually know a girl whose nearly 30 and her parents still behave that way.

Is that not normal?? Oh........
My garden looks like a mole sanctuary:laugh:

Ew, this is gross! :omgno:

Yes she is 6

by then should Not
be on a tit sucking

I'm convinced that people are confused and think that nipples are tiny penises. This is the only explanation for the revulsion / outrage.

And don't get me started on people comparing breastfeeding to taking a piss or a ****... I'm usually a Freud skeptic but things like this make me reconsider :joker: I've even seen breastmilk compared to semen. It's absolutely insane.

If someone covered my cornflakes in bull spunk I'd be ****ing fuming.

I don't have any issue with breastfeeding. I don't think it's weird and icky. I don't think it has anything to do with sexual gratification and think the comparison to her being a paedophile is nonsensical. My opinion is that breastfeeding a six year old has more to do with the needs of the mother than the needs of the child.

Often that might be true and arguably in this case it might even seem likely, as she seems to have been seeking exposure of the issue without really considering whether or not her child will want this plastered all over the Internet, which for me is the bigger issue, but really, it's not possible to know for sure and I tend to be wary when stories like this gain mass exposure. Often latched onto by anti-breastfeeders and the formula defence league and used as an example of why no one should breastfeed past 6 months (against every piece of medical literature ever written on the subject which roughly say 6 month minimum but preferably 1 year+).


WHY have I spent half of my day defending breastfeeding? Urgh. Maybe I am a ****ing feminist :(

If she wants to go down to her child's school and squeeze her breast through the school railing at break time, that's up to her. She's made it my business and so I've decided I think it's odd.

Maybe you need a hobby, TS. Maybe this woman needs a hobby too...

I have a hobby, I'm a hardcore gamer 4lyf, but I work ALL THE ****ING TIME and you can't game whilst pretending to make coffee in the back office. All you can do is post the same opinions on the same sorts of threads on TiBB, forever, like a twisted Internet Groundhog day :(

Made me LOL...

tell me the bit about squeezing her breasts through railings again.......

This is the saddest thing I have ever read.

Steph, what do you actually think your breasts are FOR?

I'm going to assume you're trolling, rather than just stupid.

Most ridiculous post I've seen in Serious Debates for a long time. And let's face it, there has been some stiff competition.

surely a non exhibitionist can breast feed with a small blanket covering her breasts...of course the liberals believe one can get ones baps out anywhere and everywhere and to not allow this at all times and places is misogyny.....lets see how the same people react when the nudists turn up in tescos

This thread hasn't at any point been about breastfeeding in public, truth...

Certainly the most ridiculous since the one where arts students were being conscripted and trained by robot dogs, to be futuristic ninja soldiers who defuse nuclear bombs.

No... actually this is more ridiculous.

Power to Stephmonroe - It's high time every woman realised that breasts are exclusively for PARTNERS. :hehe:
