Why is this offensive to you?. Is this act haulting your life somehow? Does the fact that a woman chosing to BF her child beyond the age of 1 somehow harm your life in any way.? I think that people these days need to be more open minded. Did you realize that this act does still occur in places other then the US. Certain tribes in Africa practice this method. Its called child lead weaning.
What is it to you really that these men and women choose to live a natural lifestyle and not abstain to how you view how things should be done.
And for the record, NO i do not still BF my children, I choose not to.
In the future do not be so judgemental of others and maybe you will reflect something good onto your children about how to treat people and stop the predjudceness.
I just think that BF a child that old in public or otherwise is just a bad idea. I think anything over 1 y/o is just kinda freaky. I think after (around) that age its time to stop BF. Especially when i have heard those mothers talking, what they all seem to say is "its a bonding time" or "my child is still a baby" . No, she has a problem with her child getting older and doesnt want to let go, and is enjoying the "bonding" time too much. Its just freaky and kinda odd. I think it is also at some point gonna screw that poor child up. How old can they be? What is crossing the line? Are you gonna send pumpled breast milk in their thermos to 1st grade? I mean, come on, these women need to realize their child is old enough for a sippy cup or a regular cup and just let the children grow up. Dont screw your poor child up anymore than this crazy world is gonna screw the poor thing up anyway.
