Reply #307: *MOST* public health professionals advocate breastfeeding until at least age one.

Not a few fringe crazies. There is a huge difference.

And if you can find a culture that allows breastfeeding until age eighteen, then we'll talk about that. There's also a huge difference between a three-year-old and an eighteen-year-old.

So what if it did make her feel close to the child? I repeat, can you point out a concrete way it was psychologically harming a small child to still be breastfeeding, when it's exactly what many small children in the world do?

Anthropology should be a required course.
