[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares? Are you the same sort of b*tch who judges women for formula feeding? Why do you care?

Scientists think the natural age for weaning is between 2-7 years, btw. So 4 may not be common in the U.S., but it's within the realm of normal. Don't be so small-minded.[/quote]

I'm a scientist and the data does not support your assertions. Breast feeding a 2-7 year old is not natural in any society, but that number is an oft quoted Kathy Dettwyler paper. There is no country in the world with an average age of breast feeding higher than 31 months (Bangladesh).  Age 4 is not "within the realm of normal". [/quote]

This is my favorite.

FREAK SHOW!  If you can watch that amd think any differently, I don't know what to say.  Hope they've saved up for their kids therapy.  [/quote]

HOLY SHIT.

This is the OP here. I really meant it in my original post that I don't care what people do in private but to nurse a kid as old as what I saw at Wild Tomato is just not ok. It is not ok to allow that at a dinner table in a crowded restaurant. For example, I don't allow my two year old to take off her clothes in that setting either, even though I think it's great to teach her to be comfortable with her own body.

Now, after watchig this video, i would like to amend my post. I'm not so sure how ok extended breastfeeding is after a certain point, whether in private or in public. Holy holy shit. I wish to god I could unsee that video. [/quote]
