to think that breastfeeding a 25 year old, even as a one off, is more than a little strange?

[Ewe]

Article here about when breastfeeding should stop and the author quoted two examples of 25 year old women bfing as a one off after a bereavement.

'two 25-year-old women who had suffered bereavement and went to their respective mothers for ?one-off comfort?.
"It probably started with a cuddle and led from there," she tells me'

Now I am very pro breastfeeding but I found this very strange/unusual. I just can't imagine a situation where I, as a woman in my 20s, would breastfeed from my mother but then part of me thinks if they've just suffered a big loss, who am I to think this way of coping is wrong?

So, less of an AIBU but more of a what do you all think?

They're dull? I;m not getting the mafia/nazi bit then that made your dh oh so clever?

thisisyesterday me too, quite easily I think!

thisisyesterday...it makes perfect sense doesn't it ?

when we are finally taken over by the zombies, I can hide in a cave and nourish myself

OMG curryfreak, you are just, soooo fucking funny! Breastfeeding mafia! That's hilarious!

I love how you manage to blend offensive and pathetic so effortlessly!

< shoves boobs in tsc's face >

get a load of them, baby !

please secondcoming can you be my friend??
Please say you will!

I'm imagining, curryfreak, that your husband had serious issues with you BFing at all and "prides" himself on "allowing" you to BF. It wouldn't be a stretch to think that a man like that would have refused to go near your breasts until you ceased nursing and probably bullied/nagged you until you finally did.

By the way, other people can feed BF babies. There are these things called pumps, you see.

Anytime wastingaway!

i'll breastfeed you TSC, i'm not fussy.

there are rules mind.
no pulling my hair
no pinching
no biting

k?

Georgiamama I was waiting for the man hating rant. Well done. You have not dissapointed.
Bet you knit your own sanitary towels.

I can only imagine how interesting a person you must be in real life.

hmm i'm not sure about plucking... how about if i plait them like i've done with my armpits and legs??

cos like, i am a lentil-weaving hippy don'tcha know. i must be, after all i breastfeed!

lmao wheres the queue to be BF??

and errr how you keeping the men away?

Georgimama are you always so presumptuous? You're comments are a little low tbh.

thisisyesterday, I'll breastfeed you if you breastfeed me.

Lol at comments being low.

oh, this is soooo heartwarming

who said there is no milk of human kindness in this world anymore ?

< feels warm and nurtured, and errr, milky >

Hmm so my suspected boxroom troll thread yesterday disappeared. And yet this is still going...?

If we're being serious, bf, or bottle feeding for that matter, should probably go on til dcs can drink their milk out of a cup. Past 2 yo it would seem unnecessary to me say.

I'm thinking i might teach a night class on bf oneself.
I think it just might catch on. Yeah this really could be a goer!

Did it, Portofino? The ex-stepmother one? I reported that too.

Don't know what happened BOF. I was quite subtle and only mentioned the box room once. When I got home from work it had vanished. It wasn't even THAT contraversial. Damn frustrating

Twas a classic boxroom thread though. First post, awkward sd - I am attuned to the style....

I'm off to bed now. Horlicks anyone?

bitty

bleuggggggh

haven't read the whole thread but the OP reminded me of the day my father died.
I went to my mum for a cuddle in her bed and she grabbed my head and shoved it between her boobs. I was 28 at the time.
I pulled away a bit sharpish.
So maybe it is a comfort thing (just not for me)
The subject has never been broached between my mum since or ever well.
In fact you lot are the only others who know (so shhhhhhh!)
