Bathia_Mapes: Sounds like she's only breastfeeding other childreninfants when she's been given permission by the parents, submitter.

FTFY, for clarification

As long as she is not orgasming while breastfeeding then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. I don't know if I believe that statement. Hell, its how our ancestors did it. I wouldn't stop her until she assaults a minor with her boob.

Reminds me of the guy from minnesota that buys a cow from north dakota. Only problem is that whenever he milks the cow, it farts. He invites a neighbor over to try milking the cow. Right on cue the cow farts.
Neighbor asks "get this cow from north dakota?"
Guy responds "How did you know?"
Neighbor says "My wife's from there and does the same thing."

FTA comments:

breastfeeding other people's children? That's really inappropriate. The mother's breast milk is a body fluid, if she is [...] drinking alcohol, these can be passed on


I wonder if she does advance bookings

She also produces an interesting range of yoghurts and cheeses.

God, just looking at that picture of her makes me wish I could charge her for assault.

I guess the kid just sees a giant tit (I'm a guessing, a giant, sagging, veiny tit), but still. I imagine looking at that and going I'm going to suck some milk from that thing's udders.

No No No. If you think that your kid is healthier with breast milk and that you are healthier expressing breast milk thats fine, but pump it and put it in a damn bottle. At 5 you kid is going to have memories of sucking on your tits and that is completely disgusting. I very vaguely remember doing it, and my mom cut me off on my 3rd birthday (thank god). Seriously If it isn't a baby it has no place sucking on the teat, and there are other ways to reap the nutrition and health benefits without bordering on child abuse.

can daddy have a taste?

in for two

jaylectricity: She DOES have some big tig ole titties bitties.

ftfy.

In our 21st century European culture it is very unusual, but it's not unusual historically or in other countries.

Neither is public execution, but that doesn't constitute a strong argument for its reintroduction.

In many other cultures it isn't at all unusual to breastfeed until 3, 4, or even 5. And the role of "wet nurse" meant your job was to breastfeed other people's kids.

Man we are a wound-up culture in the West.

How about assaulting a BEER CAN? Link (new window-NSFW)

When I was growing up just outside Little Rock, Arkansas, a family moved in next door, and they weren't quite Jehovah's Witnesses, and not quite Mennonite, and not quite Moon Worshipers, but all the females wore long dresses and kept long hair; and the males always walked in front of the women, sat in the front seats of their white construction van, and generally ruled the roost. I made friends with one of their kids, Cornelius (I guess the parents were Planet of the Apes fans), and we'd play pretty regularly. He was my age, about 10, and all he ever really wanted to do was climb these mile high pine trees, about two hundred feet in the air, and sway back and forth, back and forth. Scared the living bejesus out of me. I imagined slipping, falling, and hitting everyone of the nine thousand branches as I took the leisurely 5-minute plunge to my death. However, at some point near noon, Cornelius would climb down the tree as fast as he could, faster than me, and I'd yell, "Where you going?" And he'd yell back, "Got to get home for lunch!" In my mind, he was going home to some gorgeous, Golden Coral-esque buffet spread of hamburgers, potato soup, French fries, everything that my stomach could imagine. All we ever had to eat in the summer were those farking icy-pops and all that was ever left of them was grape, which tasted like cough syrup. So, one day, I decide that I'm going to get in on this chow, so I start climbing down before the notion to eat hits old Cornelius. I'm almost to the bottom when his gut-clock goes off and he starts coming down. When he hits the ground, he takes off running, and I try to keep up with him, though he's got some man-cheetah speed. He yells back at me, "Where you going?" And I yell up to him, "I'm going to get some of that food." And he yells back, "All right, but I don't know if my mama will let you eat at our house." Damn straight she will, Cornelius, you tree climbing, crazy ass sprinting, never blow your nose but just snort the snot in the winter, animal-boy. Well, I race into the house with Cornelius and, mind you, he's got like a dozen brothers and sisters, who are all lined up and perfectly quiet. Cornelius gets in line, and I get in line behind him, and its then that I see that their mother, who weighs in around 300 stone, is sitting on the couch with both her flop monsters propped on her thighs. The first kid, the eldest son who once threw a rock at me for pinching his sister's ass, he, being about fifteen and the eldest, gets to go first. He crawls up on the couch, lays down on her lap, and pops one of those big, corn-dog length nipples into his mouth. The transformation of his body was crazy -- his arms pulled up, he made little fists, and he pulled his legs up toward his stomach -- just like an infant. I can still hear his little sucking sounds. That was enough for me, so I quietly backed out the door and enjoyed my icy-pop.

Made the mistake of eating when I opened this article...

The key word that subby seems to have a problem with in his headline is "his" as in it makes it seem like she's feeding any number of her son's buds. The word is "her" as in she's only doing this with the babies of her friends. It's called wet nursing and it's been going on for centuries. I say good on her and as long as all approve she's doing a good thing.

One word: Gozu.

I'm not upset at all by her feeding other BABIES. I'm not even upset with the general idea that the 5 year old gets breast milk. The upsetting part is the five year old who sucks on her breasts.

"Bitty???"

Came here to say this.

/going to bed amused

I saw an article a couple of years back where a mother in Atlanta was breastfeeding her 9 year old son. I came up with a rule of thumb then:

If they can ask for it by name, you've gone too far.

ace in your face: No No No. If you think that your kid is healthier with breast milk and that you are healthier expressing breast milk thats fine, but pump it and put it in a damn bottle.

You have issues. Serious issues.

You are aware that until VERY recently it was common to breastfeed past 4 years old?

Also, while I've never breastfed (being male and all), I do recall reading somewhere that it's perfectly normal for a woman to get fairly pleasurable feelings from breastfeeding.

You know what? If nature encourages breastfeeding by providing feelings of arousal and pleasure to the breastfeeder, that's not SICK, it's EFFICIENT... using existing feedback mechanisms for multiple purposes.

FTA-
The mother of one said her son considers it a treat 'like eating chocolate'

I bet he does!
Most males feel that way just seeing boobs.

And until VERY recently, marrying at 13 was common too. So was first cousins marriages. And wife beating.

I think Daily Mail disagrees with her.

That's the full-on vitamin D variety, and plenty of it from the looks of it.

Nope, got nothing.

Please do read my comment carefully. No offense but your headline is world class disingenuous. As it reads it implies that she brings sonny boy's kindergarten class over to the house to shlurp down mouthfuls of mommy's milk direct from the spigot. That was really the basis of my initial criticism. The other part was directed at all those who expressed some sort of horror that a woman could possibly allow another mother's baby to feed from her breasts.

But, now that you bring it up, you don't mind that she wet nurses other babies. You claim you're not upset that her five year old is still receiving her milk. You just are upset that he is receiving it directly from her. I'm not that upset by that; as he's embarking on childhood with solid memories that breasts have a useful, nourishing purpose and he doesn't enter puberty fixated on them as sexual objects. What bothers me about this is that the mother, by playing the game the British media have made of this story, has now potentially exposed her son to taunting and ridicule by a large group of people who are undoubtedly titillated by the whole thing. In other words, she ought to have just kept her nursing of her five-year-old between the two of them.

I always wonder if people who make this argument have ever had kids or even been around them very much. Do you know when kids start learning to talk? Do you know when they stop needing to have either formula or breastmilk as part of their diet? Are you suggesting that all infants from about 6-8 months until 1 year should be on formula? Which formula company are you shilling for?

Wow. So to you, breastfeeding a 4 year old is on par with sexual assault, inbreeding, and domestic violence.

You're seriously farked up.

Ric Romero reports that not all fark headlines are accurate. Film at eleventy o'clock.

I breastfed my kids until they were a little over a year. They weaned themselves sometime around 14 months. I guess life became more interesting than mommy's boobs.

When breastfeeding becomes more about the mother's needs and less about what the kid needs, it's time to stop. Yes, in other cultures, mothers breastfeed longer. That's often because breast-milk is the only affordable, safe, and nutritional option.

Weaning is an important developmental step for babies. I can't see how extending that until 4 or 5 years is a good thing.

ace in your face: No No No. If you think that your kid is healthier with breast milk and that you are healthier expressing breast milk thats fine, but pump it and put it in a damn bottle.

My thoughts exactly!

Sirius Cybernetics narrows its corporate eyes. "Share and enjoy?"

Oh, and spentmiles?

[...] That was enough for me, so I quietly backed out the door and enjoyed my icy-pop.

Cool story. Chilling, in fact.

How is this not sexual abuse? Why isn't this predator locked up?

Now, while I don't see anything inherently wrong with breastfeeding at 4, I tend to believe MOST mothers will want to wean their children when they start cutting teeth.

Many babies frequently bite down when feeding (biting the nipple that feeds them... babies ain't that bright). When that first tooth comes out mummy's reaction is a lot more than, 'OW!'.

truth_is_stranger_than_fishin: As long as she is not orgasming while breastfeeding then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it

So it's ok for me to expose myself to people as long as I don't derive pleasure from it?

What difference does it make if someone derives pleasure from an action or not? Either an action is wrong, or it isn't.

This kid will stay attached to the tit long after he's stopped breastfeeding. He's a future Fark mom's-basement dweller.
