I would worry that he would be teased if any of his little friends found out that he was still nursing. If, as you indicate, it was the cultural norm, it would be no big deal. But a six year old still nursing in this situation is not the cultural norm, or else there would be no story to tell.

Much like the Gosselin kids who, I fear, will be teased when their potty training videos are you-tube fodder for their contemporaries (whether now or in another few years when they reach adolescence), how is this child now going to be treated by other children since his activity has been made so public?
