I think breast feeding is kinda ruined for me. One of my best friends growing up's little sister was breastfed until she was five. The first time I saw it happening was when she was about two and a half (which I personally think is too old). The toddler hopped on her moms knee and told her that she wanted her "nummies" now. So in disbelief I asked my friend when we left the room "Does your mom still breastfeed Kelsi"? And her reply, "yeah of course...I was breastfed until I was 4, and she wants to feed Kelsi until she is at least 5".
I am cool with breastfeeding, but my god, why would you breastfeed your kid that long? I understand the health benefits, but I just cant believe that it is in any way appropriate for a five year old whether in public or at home to be doing that.
I now have no intention of breast feeding my future kids, because of how this disturbed me. It actually creeps me out now adays to see a women feeding in public.
