Do you ever hear weird parenting stories that make you take a second glance, or make you think “wow, this really isn’t what nature intended — what’s wrong with this lady”? In an article that will make most readers think just that, a woman writes about why she still feeds her 5-year-old off of her nipple and why you shouldn’t judge her for it. And the arguments in “Don’t judge me for breastfeeding my 5-year-old” are just as out there as you think… Or are they?
Key Takeaways:
- Hiding, probably. Women are hiding in bathrooms, at home and in cars.
- Many women find breastfeeding to be a powerful parenting tool, but they do not feel comfortable doing it in public out of fear.
- Nursing benefits children’s intellectual development, nutritional needs, social development and long-term mental health.
“Women are hiding in bathrooms, at home and in cars. We don’t see women breastfeeding their toddlers because they are afraid of being harassed.”
