| 4 year old? *Shudders* I could not imagine that tbh!
I was watching a thing on you-tube it was a documentary from the US about a woman who breastfeeds her child who is nearly... EIGHT!!!!That to me is plain weird.
She was sat on the couch with the daughter laid across it and she stretched across the whole thing. Apparently her kids (she has an older one also) touch her breasts each day.. have names for them and are often found drawing pictures of them...
But 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 months to me is still a baby. And before a year of age food is supposed to be 'for fun', to encourage chewing, a healthy jaw, and get the few extra nutrients a baby needs.
Also, yes a baby *can* eat food from 4 months but it isn't recommended. 6 months is recommended and you only start by giving one solid meal a day, so most of the day is still spent breast/bottle feeding (if you stick to guidelines) so I do think it is needed to be able to feed your baby whereever the hell you like. Plus, as pointed out sooo many times, you see more flesh on 'girls' walking around the streets or bilboard posters etcetera than you would ever see on a mother who is feeding her child! |
