I wonder why everyone is scared to death to admit and accept the controversial?? yet affectionate gesture of this woman towards her children. I think society should have a limit on objecting to individual decisions matters of an intimate nature. If a mother feels that she needs to show her love for children by extended breastfeeding even if others consider it as abnormal I don't think there is anything sinister involved in it. It's just a matter of opinion. One might wonder why am I defending this seemingly sick action of a psycho woman but it's not like that. I have personally known at least two extraordinary breastfeeding moms who extended the natural activity to almost unusual limits by normal standards. One continued breastfeeding her daughter till she reached the age of 13 and another did the same with her son as well as daughter till they were 13 and 12 respectively. When these children developed their own social circle and started spending more time with their friends the urge to breastfeed naturally subsided and so far there have been no observable negative effects. I wonder if people will like to scrutinize such people's lives under a microscope and blame the slightest thing out of place as result of whatever they don't feel right about, in this case, extended breastfeeding. Do people who have a normal upbringing, education and circle have not been known to become victims of some psychological aberration later or make a mess of their lives, so what should be held responsible for that?? I think it is purely subjective to hold breastfeeding responsible for abnormal psychological development in such children which is nonetheless unproven so far.
