I find that so disturbing. If they can ask for a "boobie" they're too old in my opinion. If they're still breastfeeding at 8, when do they stop? At 10? 15? 21?

i dont even want to watch. I find it too strange. Freaks me out a little...and I dread to think what sort of internet pervs are out there looking for exactly that type of film.
And how can a woman live with leaky boobs for that long?!

I'd hate to be able to remember breastfeeding from my mum. So I'll stop well before the memory kicks in!!
A year will do for me.

id be interested in seeing the whole documentary i dont think theres anything wrong with it, breast feeding as an amazing gift you can give to your children its one of the most natural things in the world.

and anyway you feed kids milk from a cow at least boobie milk is from the same species.

people put horrid plastic dummys in their kids mouths to comfort them so why not a boob?

Sorry, but that is just wrong on so many levels. I thought it was a spoof at first, I can't get my head around someone breastfeeding an 8 year old.

Disturbing.........

There is a doctor in my hometown that allegedly still pumped breast milk for her kids when they were 15 and 16 years old. I do actually think its true though, she's a very organic, green, natural, vegetarian, hippy type of woman. It wouldn't surprise me.

My little boy is six.. and when he saw a lady on tv with her top of he giggled and said BOOBS !!!! So although he's obviously not seeing them as sexual.. he's embarrased by them. It's just wrong, and very disturbing !! I should think when they get older, they'd probably be mortified by it, and wouldn't want their mates knowing definetely !!!!
I'm a firm believer in breast feeding, and do it when out for coffee, and round freinds houses... I'm not embarrased by it for a baby... But kids grow up alot quicker now.... magazines... tv... etc.. So that's my take on it JMO
