The poster who said full term breastfeeding indicates codependency 🤣🤣🤣
I don’t know how to tell you that four year olds are supposed to be dependent on their parents.
I bet you help your 4yos wipe their bums sometimes, and I doubt you’d pay much attention to someone popping up and saying ‘you don’t want to still be doing that when he’s 14!’. Same with lots of things - bathing them, reading them bedtime stories, cooking all of their meals, kissing scraped knees better. All of those things, like breastfeeding, are perfectly appropriate for a 4 year old but not for a 14 year old. The fictional 14 year old is a red herring to the whole discussion.
And to those posters saying it’s ‘creepy’. Interesting and specific form of word. Highly indicative that you can’t move past the idea that the purpose of breasts is to be sexual. You might say you think of full term breastfeeding as unnecessary, inconvenient, unusual etc, but to specifically say ‘creepy’ indicates you think it’s something gross or unsavoury, and that’s because you can’t disassociate breasts from sex.
Which is not hugely surprising in our culture, which allows topless women in newspapers but frowns upon women breastfeeding in public, and which relentlessly treats women’s bodies as commodities existing for the enjoyment of men. But still, it’s very much your issue and your hang up, and has nothing to do with full term weaning, which is only ever a decision for mum and child to make themselves.
