Does this mean I should have stopped feeding this way

Extended breastfeeding (beyond the age of 3-4) used to be far more common than it is now. The reason for that is that it reduces the chances of conception.

There should be no law against brest feeding in general. It's the most natural thing for babies. There should be a loose age limit (say 4) to stop nonsense like that one.

Dissident, as far as I know human nature, a woman gets some sort of reward for breast feeding - like the pleasure of sex is nature's reward for producing children. But in this case, what the woman gets or doesn't get is for me not so much a problem as what happens to the child.

but if the child isn't being forced to do it what's the problem?

Sure he may grow up to be a panty-waist, but I think it's our god-given right to grow up to be panty-waists if we want to . No one should force a kid to mature at a certain age etc.

Believe it or not I think its OK for this 8 year old to breast feed. We can't force this kid to grow up and act like a big kid.

But where I would draw the line is at puberty. But even then the picture is cloudy. If the woman isn't forcing the child to do it, what's the problem. Is it the goverment's job to stop incest? But of course you could make the case the woman is brain washing the boy and this is sexual abuse. And that the kid has no control over his actions. But that seems a little far fetched.

I hope that this happens automatically, then. There are things that simply don't work between parents and children when the latter enter puberty.

I hope it does too . You would think things would happen naturally and automatically long before the age of 8.

I diagree because I wasn't talking about intercourse here. Only if sexual abuse is present (ie mother taking advantage of boy) should the goverment intervene.

The drawback is that I would imagine the boy would suffer far greater trauma in being seized and put into care than he would by continuing breastfeeding. It's like trying to cure verruccas by sawing your foot off.

He's 8. It will be a miracle if he doesn't try something on a teacher or another girl.

Ah, this reminds me of a line in the great movie Bachelor Party, where Tom Hanks' friend is a photographer photographing a baby with his mum, who, shall we say, had fabulous funbags

He says to himself "Baby, if i were you, i'd breastfeed until i was 19!"

I don't have an article on hand, but isn't this kid:

-already living with his Father?
-is doing this while 'on visitation' with Mom?
-only doing this every ten days or so (i.e., it certainly can't be construed as 'weaning')?
-only doing this because Mom wants to (i.e., it's not his idea)?

One problem I have with extended brest feeding is that brest milk changes over time, to accomodate the changing needs of the child. If the mother has several other children in the meantime (entirly possible over, say, a five year span), which child is the milk, um, "properly aged" for?

This is what disturbs me the most:

quote: But his babysitter thought differently and called a child-abuse hotline after Kyle — then 5 years old and in the first grade — allegedly said he wanted to stop breast-feeding but "Mommy wouldn't let me."

Sick. Just sick. I hope that mother doesn't see her child again...

I think she is getting it on. And I would bet in 4 or 5 years from now she would be teaching him how to satified a woman.

well that will help him when he's older. So many men today don't know where a woman's erogenous zones are. I applaud her efforts.

There is a State Hospital here in town. Several years ago one of the Attendant did a girl. After the baby was born, they took DNA and match it with all of the male attendant and as far as I know he is still in prison for rape and several other charges.
In my book if the girl said no then leave her along.
I have only seen one jail from the inside, and that was in Kern County (Bakersfield) Ca. when my buddy who is a guard there took me out there one night to watch the new recruits come in.
