Everyone's choices are what's best for them. Assuming the 5th was your 5th pregnancy and the previous four were not quads, one would take that into consideration as your being 'experienced' in the ways of giving birth. Had that been your first, that would not have been the case.
Personally, I would not nurse a 4 year old anymore than I'd give a 4 year old a bottle, but again, that's your decision and how your kids end up is soley your doing based on your own decisions.
I do, however, take offense when remarks about how I and others like me that did not or could not go along with this line of action imply that that too, was entirely our choice. My kids are so healthy I have to renew their records every time I've needed a physician's signature for something. They don't eat organics, they got both bottle and breast and, Horrors!!!! were born in a hospital through emergency C-Section.
Simply put, we do what we think is best for the situation at hand. I do feel, however, that anyone attempting this the first time out is putting at least two lives on the line and that's scary.

I want to add that I find it most interesting that those who advocate the practice of freebirthing as it's been outlined quote the very doctors they're attempting to avoid.
