Breastfeeding at 7 yrs???

Moms I know follow this rule: when you can ask for it, it's time to stop. No one I know breastfed their kids after around age 2.

Kids are going to continue to do what they know and are comfortable with. Mom has to be the one to decide when it is no longer appropriate to do some things because the kid generally does not know. It's the same principle with things like potty training. The kid will continue to use diapers until you decide it is time to start using the potty.

blech. Our family knew someone like that. The son was six and still being breastfed. We often wondered if she was going to go to college with him.

There is no way I could come home from work and see my 6 yr old son in my wifes arms breast feeding. I say give the lil dude some extra veggies and tell him to "man up."
