Extended Breastfeeding Confession
Posted by Cottontimer on 24 Sep 2006 | Tagged as: Motherhood
No, not mine. Judith Woodburn’s of Salon. She’s still breastfeeding her son past his fourth birthday.
My son turned 4 a few weeks ago. His birthday wishes included the following: real binoculars, anything to do with Spider-Man and to keep on nursing.
Update: Veronika Robinson nursed her girls waaay past their fourth birthdays.
For anyone wondering, I am completely pro-breastfeeding, but not militantly so.

My SIL nursed my nephew well past his 4th birthday. As far as I know, she’s still nursing him and he’ll turn 5 in a couple months. And she has another son turning 2 who was/is exclusively nursed.
river2sea72: Wow. She must have incredible patience.
Hrmmm … it just seems … well. You know, there is a point where you stop looking at mommy’s boobs and start questing beyond the family unit. That replacement is called a wife and the motives have nothing to do with nutrition.
I’m just saying.
mdmhvonpa: Yeah, yeah. Typical male.
I think each family has to make their own decision about breastfeeding. Whatever works to achieve happiness for everyone is the way to go!
