Answer 1

I had to stop watching the video, it was disturbing.

I will say these and I may get flamed, but oh well! If the mother had pumped the breastmilk and given it to the child in a cup, I don't see an issue at all with it.

To think of an 8 year old child latching on to her mother's breast is disturbing to say the least.

I'm curious to what the reprecussions (if any) the child will have, as it just doesn't seem normal or healthy for the child's mental development.

Again, pump the breastmilk and let her drink it out of a cup...

Answer 2

Some people just don't know when to let go. It is healthy for an infant but there is no way that breastfeeding is better than a balanced diet for a child. It is sick. I fully support breastfeeding infants, but when they can feed them selves the boob needs to go.

Answer 3

Oh Yuck !

I hope the children's school pals never saw that video. They will be ridiculed beyond belief. I think the Mother does it for her own gratification more than anything.

I think the Mother needs to let go.

Answer 4

I know that is crazy but breast milk is the best for the child. wow there are more loons than I thought.

Answer 5

I think that most breastfeeding moms, even those who breastfeed longer than is 'typical' don't post videos of themselves on youtube.

Answer 6

even though it completely creeps me out - it's not uncommon for mothers in other countries than the USA to breastfeed for that long.  In their culture there probably isn't anything wrong with it, it's just not "acceptable" in the US

Answer 7

That is disgusting the women is obviously not all there, it comes across as incestuous to me.

Answer 8

OMFG!!!! That is just GROSS!

Give the child some cow's milk already!

I cannot believe she even WANTS to do it. How sickening!

Answer 9

I didn't even click on your link to watch this.  The mental imagine that popped into my brain is bad enough.  

Answer 10

ugggh..i just threw up in my mouth. this is perverted~! i really think mama is enjoying this too much.

Answer 11

Breastfeeding beyond the age where a child should have their teeth and be able to eat solid foods is totally uneeded,

Besides, once those children hit puberty, then what? Besides, it could be seen as sexual harassment/incest.

Also, children at that age group will start being concerned about their peers, what will their friends think if they still breastfeed?

Finally, breast milk is not a complete food for anyone past infancy.

Answer 12

I only watched a bit of it i recognise the video it was on tv not so long ago.

I think she is finding it hard to let go of the mother-baby bond you get from breast feeding, but after a baby has reached the first 12 months of their life then there is no need to breast feed any more.

She should stop!

Answer 13

Ewwwwwwww!! F****** Gross!! :0    

Answer 14

That is just gross.  I can't believe I just watched it.  Didn't watch the whole thing though.  That's like almost child abuse.  How gross.  I can see breasfeeding until age 2 - after that - it just become eww and enough already.

Answer 15

thats so gross feel so sick now  

Answer 16

I think its molestation.  The mother is doing it because she likes it... I'd put her in jail and take her kids away.  She says *they dont care that i have stretch marks and my b*****s are all saggy then laughs*.......Kids will eat chocolate all day if we let them. IF WE LET THEM.

Answer 17

Those children are going to grow up seriously mentally damaged.

EDIT: Jomamo, don't stalk me.....lol

You're right though - breastfeeding is brilliant, but for a child over 2 there is the word no...

Answer 18

jeez...Thats disgusting

Answer 19

Bitty.

Answer 20

Woooooooooow.

That was fascinating and quite disturbing.

I´m a huge advocate of breastfeeding, I didn´t actually want to before my son was born but I was encouraged in the hospital and it was a lovely experience. While he was a baby.

But up to age 8 ...... HOW is she going to get them off the boob?

It ain´t gonna be easy.

Answer 21

i know i saw it a few weeks ago it's horrible i think it should be band!

Answer 22

oh my god.  

Answer 23

I haven't watched it!

I breast fed my 3 babies up to 6 months old, This is just sensationalist B.S!!

What is she thinking??
