if a 5 yo was still sucking on a bottle, Mumsnet would probably go into meltdown, so I don't see the difference here, I guess it depends how often we are talking, is it a night time comfort thing or is she popping into the school at lunchtime to rehydrate the kid, time to let the baby phase pass I think, each to their own but most parents want their children to develop in line with their peers and there really is no need...

she said the 5yo only feeds at night to help her get to sleep but she has a 2yo who feeds 8-10 times a day

Nights not so bad, but 8 to 10 times a day does he or she not have food, it wouldn't be for me
