What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Is there some scientific basis, like if a baby nurses for longer it's theoretically better for it and/or should they be on solid food and no milk benefit by then anyway or what?
(I agree, my knee-jerk is if kid can self-feed - kind of ewww but if there is actual - not fake - science supporting it....)
Yes, there is some type of scientific basis for children that best feed, they have a better immune system, and less likely to have common colds, eczema, stuff like that. I mean, there’s no guarantee in life, but yes… Breast-feeding your child for at least a year, it’s going to benefit the child. But when a kid can walk and talk, I’m pretty sure breast-feeding is beyond its benefit. And becomes a little creepy.
There’s a woman in my Bible study, and her daughter is at least two, she can walk, and talk, and then, during the study, she just walks up and wants to nurse. When you see it first hand, there’s just something about it that you think to yourself… This is just fucking weird. It just creeps me out.
Well... so basically you actually don't know, and admit because you're "pretty sure" and it "creeps you out" so there is some cutoff age. Well, let's actually do some research on the matter then (I was lazy as it's not a priority and I thought maybe you already knew and could enlighten).
This article is pretty informative, dispels some myths etc, and then there is this nugget:
"Most nursing toddlers naturally wean sometime between 2–4 years."
I would think nature (God) would know best?

So, because health line says it? Sorry, I’m not taking that as a source. If the kindergartners is breast-feeding, I’m sorry that’s just not right. When a toddler gets more breast time than a woman’s husband, that’s not right. But that’s my own personal opinion. I don’t need help mine to tell me it’s OK for a four-year-old to walk up and button his mother top, and then start sucking on her tit. by this time they have enough teeth to chew their own food. In the real world… Other mammals will stop breast-feeding when they can chew.
This maybe umm idk not the correct answer. Idk. The first and most important ,uh , things a baby needs out of a mother's breast milk the baby needs are the , first few omg, how do I say this?? From 1996?? All the first, that comes out, in the first few hours etc... and weeks. Is what I was told! Please don't hold me to it! My Dr. Told me as long as I pumped for at least 6 to 8 weeks for the baby, he ( my son) would get all the good stuff , basically he needed. I know, I know! Not medical. Sorry he is 26.
Sorry, I'm not exhaustively researching this further.... If you wish to counter the site's claims (which are apparently invalid "because healthline"), you are going to need to come up with information other than your feelings and personal opinions.
Yeah, that’s nasty
It’s just wierd and creepy. Especially during a Bible study. But at least it’s all women. L O L.
I can’t imagine being in the book of Psalms and a little one just runs up to Mommy and starts milking. I actually think I would throw up 😂
Idk why your getting devoted.
Ok, have to say, that would creep me out also!
