Seriously though, i thought they were wierdo's & had enough within 5 mins.


Wheres the section for the i was too young to remember vote.

I watched the whole program. I'm all in favour of breast feeding, but I think its not quite right to still be doing it at 7 or 8 years. Maybe 2ish years like the WHO suggests, but not 8.

I'd like to say that I found the program very informative. OK I was a little shocked, but on the whole if people want to do that then let them get on with it and don't judge them.

Felt it was the mothers selfishness driving it rather than the child prefering it. Some subconcious desire to keep the close link between mother and child who knows.

I couldn't even bear the previews, yuk!

No, I am sorry if i am being a bit black and white here, but Breast feeding an 8 year old is wrong and disgusting. You have to wonder if the reason it went on was purely for the Mother's reasons (And no, I am not referring to anything sexual, but along the lines of not wanting to let go or accept that her Baby is growing up). I just thought it was wrong, and it didn't help me understand as I thought the Woman doing it reminded me of Maxine Carr !
Rant over - just think it's wrong at that age !

One of the mothers actually gave her reason behind it as helping to ward of the possibility of her getting breast cancer, ok on one hand i can see where she is comming from, on the other hand i think she was being selfish to encourage her kids to continue breast feeding for her own gain.
