Each to their own but you know when you post things online that there will always be haters.

It’s such a personal thing, breastfeeding. In my experience I was hoping to make six months, I wanted to give my child the best start and I believed that started with breast milk. It was a rough start for us but I persevered and my little one is 3 in March and will ask for milk occasionally. It’s not every night but most mornings when he wakes. Sometimes if he’s overwhelmed or upset it’s a way for him to regulate. One day I’ll realize it just doesn’t happen anymore and I will be sad about that as it has been such a big part of both our lives. Natural weaning. It’s totally depends by on the child. I’ll leave it up to him.

Not a choice I would make for my child, because lets be honest, as parents we make the choices for our children, five years old shouldn’t be making too many of their own choices. In addition, going to school and still breastfeeding, may cause problems for this little girl. :s

It’s natural – one should always leave it up to the child.

5 is way too old but if it works for her it’s her choice

I personally wouldn’t, but each to their own.

Everyone’s different, it’s not for me but as long as she’s happy and well loved who cares?

It’s not something I’d do but each to their own, it’s certainly not hurting anyone.

It wouldn’t suit me, but I can’t see why it’s a problem if she wants to.

She can do what she wants but why does she need to share it??

Look, each to their own. If she wants to breastfeed her kid for that long, it’s her decision and who are we to judge her.

I honestly don’t think others should have an opinion about it. It’s not their body or their baby. Nobody should have an opinion about anyone else’s body but them and nobody should have an opinion about someone else’s baby but the parents.

You think it’s too old? Don’t do it then.

I think that is to old. Is it for the child or the mum

If she wants to breastfeed her daughter at that age then let her. I just don’t see why she has to post photos of it on line.

Oh I didn’t realise people who have had surgery can nurse

Gross! That is not healthy- there should be laws against this!

  Please tell me you’re joking?! Laws against feeding her child? Wtf are you on lady?

It’s really up to her. Breastfeeding has lots of benefits. But for me personally, I can’t imagine my kids going to preschool and still breastfeeding.

I believe it’s up to the individual person, nothing wrong with it in my opinion. It’s a comfort thing and I would never be so judgemental to criticise, as someone else stated her body, her boobs and indeed her choice.

Everyone is different.
It’s her body so it’s nobody else’s business to judge or hate!

Good on her! We need to normalise breastfeeding more! You go Mumma! I plan to breast feed as long as my boy wants to
