More disturbing than octo-birther

Warning: 8 y/o child breastfeeding

I’d rather have lots of breast milk than a million melons.

They won’t breastfeed forever…

They will not breastfeed when they go to college or get married!

It’s never happened.

And if these were little boys?

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends nursing up to one year and as long as mutually desired by the mother and the child.

“…extended breastfeeding or even arousal during breastfeeding were not reasons for removing a child from a mother’s custody.”

A thoughtful discussion of this exact case.
