A time of Controversy

One of the stories that seems to be all over the internet /news, is the latest cover and article for Time magazine which talks about breastfeeding past the year and a half mark.
A few of the photos that have been online show a mother breastfeeding a child over the age of 4. The article is suppose to be about parental attachment.

As you can imagine, the comments that were attached to the online article were split down the middle, half of them saying it was wrong and half saying it was natural.

My thoughts on it... icky! 

Dude, I don't want to see that.  It's one thing when you are at the house of a new mother who breast feeds and have to sit through it, and it's another thing when it's done in public.   But, after a child has gotten to the point of having all their teeth baby ones or otherwise,  it's way past the point of breastfeeding, in private or public. 

There are height and weight limits for the use of car seats, there should be an age limit to breastfeeding.
