Breast feeding cut off?

Question

I have seen breast feeding YouTube videos of women breast feeding 3 & 4 year olds.. Like that sexy spiritual mom who doesn't really breast feed them they are just playing with her boobs while she talks about nothing educational lol I'm wondering how old is enough, enough? I think my other kids breast fed up to a year.. It just doesn't seem kosher to me that my son be having full on conversation while he sucks my breasts and stands while doing it lmao is there any real educational videos out there that help with breast feeding problems?

Answer

I'm going to try my best to breastfeed for a year because I think that's what will work for us. I think there are benefits to extended breastfeeding/child led weaning but the videos on YouTube are creepy and borderline pornography. I'd call your hospital and ask to speak to a lactation consultant, they can probably be more help!!

Answer

I understand why you would feel weird about it.  But remember that everyone needs to make the best decision for THEM and THEIR FAMILY.  It's not really our business what they choose to do.

Answer

One year is my max. I don't believe in breastfeeding for comfort so I only want to do it while my child needs the milk.

Answer

I'm giving my daughter until 4 years old to self wean and if she doesn't then I'll pump and give it to her in a cup but breast milk grows with the child and is always beneficial.

Answer

The longest I've gone is 15 months because I couldn't get her to wean 😂. It's a personal choice and you'll know when you are ready. I try and make it at least a year when they can get all the nutritional needs from the foods they eat.

Answer

I've BF 5 (1 only for 6 months) for at least 1 1/2 years and plan to exclusively BF this baby for at least a year and half also. I've seen plenty of ridiculous YouTube "breastfeeding" video and refuse to even look on there anymore. WIC recommends at least the first year of More.

Answer

Breastfed my daughter till 2 when she self weaned.  Breast milk is beneficial to all age children.
