It has biological precedent and is not abnormal human psychology. If that's more helpful phrasing.

it's actually harmful to the child. the child should be learning how to find food on it's own, that is a normal biological stage of development. The child should be craving solid foods, and learning ways to acquire solid food to feed itself at this point of development.

at some point a healthy mother teaches her children to find their own food, it's a stage of development, instead this mother wants to make the child dependent on her. that is abusive. It's all about the mother wanting her child to be permanently dependent on her.
