Attachment Parenting.

When you're still putting him in the back pack and his feet are dangling to the floor.
 
Jesus fucking Christ!
If that picture had been of a black African woman in famine-torn Somalia, nobody would have said a fucking word to the negative!
So what? It may not be YOUR choice to feed so long - goodness knows it certainly wasn't MINE - but who the fuck out there can definitively say that what she is doing is wrong???
 
Oh please, I breast fed for almost 3 years.

She has no interest in the boobs now.
 
Yes, it gives me the creeps, but I dont begrudge her from raising him however she sees fit.

Life is situational, what we accept from other cultures is different form what we expect from our own.
 
Children's immune systems aren't fully mature until they're around 6 years of age, a lot of children who are left to wean naturally will stop between the ages of 2-6, 'extended' breastfeeding is natural, natural things don't usually lead to 'mommy issues'. Besides it's only really an issue in some western societies.

Lots of things could be said to be natural, but no longer have a place in our society. Young girls getting married and having babies when they get their 1st period for instance.

Yes you're right, that's a fair point. I think one of the issues is that they rarely do studies into the benefits of breastfeeding past the age of three. I don't know, parenting is so full of judgement anyway, it's just a shame that it's an issue in the first place.
