re: How old is too old to breastfeed?

Quoting ℳary ℐane:" You remember being 3 years old? "

You don't?
My first real memory was at 2 getting tubes in my ears.

My kid can hold a cup.

Quoting K. P. Walsh:" I feel like, if the kid can recall breastfeeding, he may be too old to be nursing.. If he can hold a cup, he doesn't need the boobie. IMO. "

So like 6-9 months old?

Whenever either one is uncomfortable.

I just watched it, and the first man reminds me of my husband   "I don't mind seeing breasts.... Coffee and breasts, nothing wrong with that."  

I've been either breastfeeding or pumping since March 16 2006, except for when I was pregnant with my last baby because DD weaned herself a week before finding out I was pregnant. When LO reaches 2 I'm done. Thats almost 8 years of BFing. I have no problem with extended breastfeeding but honestly I think once they hit 4 it's been long enough. But I would never say anything to the mother because that is their decision not mine.

Um, no I don't.

My 7 month old can a hold a cup too, should he stop breastfeeding?

Quoting Snotface♫[usmc]:" My kid can hold a cup. "

Whats your point exactly?
I said I feel like if a kid a hold and drink from a cup at THREE, then I see no reason to continue nursing from the BREAST.
That's my opinion.

We'' stop when DD wants to, unless for some reason I need to stop sooner.

Quoting ℳary ℐane:" Um, no I don't. My 7 month old can a hold a cup too, should he stop breastfeeding?"

Lol I said that was my opinion.
I never said anyone should stop breastfeeding if they don't want to.
I'm entitled to my own opinion.

Quoting K. P. Walsh:" Whats your point exactly? I said I feel like if a kid a hold and drink from a cup at THREE, then I see no reason to continue nursing from the BREAST. That's my opinion."

If he can hold a cup, he doesn't need the boobie.

You didn't say "at three". I'm sure you can understand the responses then.

Quoting K. P. Walsh:" Lol I said that was my opinion. I never said anyone should stop breastfeeding if they don't want to. I'm entitled to my own opinion. "

and I am entitled to have an opinion of your opinion.

Quoting K. P. Walsh:" Lol I said that was my opinion. I never said anyone should stop breastfeeding if they don't want to. I'm entitled to my own opinion. "

This isn't the opinion forum, it's for discussions and debates. So you think if a 7 month old can drink from a cup the mother should stop breastfeeding?

Quoting ℳary ℐane:" You remember being 3 years old? "

i remember my first year of preschool we had small carpet pieces we sat on at story time the teacher had brown hair and she was mean so yes i remember things at 3

Quoting K. P. Walsh:" I feel like, if the kid can recall breastfeeding, he may be too old to be nursing.. If he can hold a cup, he doesn't need the boobie. IMO. "

My son went straight to a cup at 6 months old, he never had bottles or sippies

My older kids remember nursing, they have fond memories of it. I don't see how that's a bad thing.
