Breastfeeding a 13 year old, what do you think

34 replies

pigletmania · 01/04/2011 18:16

I read an article in this weeks Thats life of a 13 year old boy who still has his 'milkies' from the breast and so does the womans dh, she has said that she has no intention of stopping, and will stop when her son says so. Imo I dont agree with it at that kind of age, what if he never wants to stop, what will his partner think. Imo its wrong he is a teenager, she has to put a stop to this its not right.

It does seem so far fetched, dont know if the woman is making it up, it does have a picture of him feeding from her though.

actually i don't care, just had to say something.

NettoSuperstar · 01/04/2011 18:21

Stop reading That's Life.

BlessedAssurance · 01/04/2011 18:21

then my comment on top about her being sick stays.

whomovedmychocolate · 01/04/2011 18:23

Yikes - looks bogus to me though

Hopefully this is just someone who's taken the idea from Little Britain to get some money for the story? Or could it be an April Fool if it's this week's issue?

If it's 100% true then it's a matter for Social Services surely!

As the mother of a 13 yr old I cannot think of anything worse.
Well except if it was my 17 yr old.

Very disturbing, if it's true then the family have real issues!!

LilQueenie · 01/04/2011 18:36

not an april fool. this story was in another magazine months ago.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 01/04/2011 18:37

My DD is 13, she is taller than me and a beautiful young woman. I find the thought disturbing somewhat

It's probably not an April Fool either.

Haent thought of April fool, though I did read in Closer of a woman that bf her dog whereas her baby was ff, theere is nowt as qeer as folk as the saying goes.

Nice April Fool OP, surely?

Either that or the world is even weirder than I realised.

StarlightMcKenzie · 01/04/2011 18:38

See what I don't get is why the 13yr old boy is the story, and then the husband as an aside.

13yr old is probably not acceptable but you can possibly understand how he might have got there, especially if he has any SN or there is something else going on. In many cultures you can see 7-8yr olds after all.

The DH on the otherhand is the really wierd one.

If it is true than it is disgusting, the boy is big almost a man, and this woman is shoving her norks down his throat. Now she is doing it for herself, one has to question her motives.

What happened to a big firm 'NO' you are a teenager time to put a stop to this now. And to carry on until he says no, so he might go the same way as her dh, that would put a woman off to meet a man who still bf from his mum Envy

Feels like something out of a Little Britain sketch methinks!

emmanumber3 · 01/04/2011 18:44

Piglet - I read that in Closer too. Can't remember why she didn't BF the baby but she definitely was claiming she BF the dog & FF the child Hmm

changeforthebetter · 01/04/2011 18:46

All these gossip mags which I avidly read studiously ignore in the staff room have bf stories occasionally. They all portray bf from some freakish angle which helps to make it less socially acceptable than it already is in some parts. I would put money on it being a load of hogwash since I don't tend to believe things just because they are printed.

megapixels · 01/04/2011 18:48

What the hell is That's Life anyway? Sounds like such an esteemed publication with a name like that. I think whomovedmychoc is right.

That is strange emman they do put bf in a bad light, like all bf mums do this type of thing.
