Why Does Extended Breastfeeding Offend People?

Why makes extended breastfeeding pique so many people in America? Why make people believe that the same milk that at one point provided all of your baby's needs, no longer have any value after 6, 9 or 12 months?

That is, in fact, simply a myth. Breast milk incorporates valuable vitamins, Ca and antibodies for as long as it is produced by a mom.

Extended breastfeeding is simply nursing a kid past times Horse Opera society's 'normal' expectations, but that doesn't do it wrong. In fact, it is actually more than than "normal" than you might think.

In fact, here are some facts that may surprise you:

• In most of the world's cultures, breast eating goes on for at least 2 years.

• The World Health Organization (WHO) urges that new female parents suckle their children from birth until 2 old age and then as long as mutually desired.

• Cancer hazard lessenings the longer a female parent breastfeeds.

• Studies have got shown that children who are breastfed turn up to be more unafraid and ego reliant on than their bottle-fed peers.

•Although many mas don't speak about it, extended breast eating is not a new idea, at all. Moms have got continued to feed their babes this manner for centuries and new scientific research shows it is a good pick for both mas and their children.

While I will hold that drawn-out breast eating is not for everyone, it is breast eating as nature intended…not on person else's pre-determined schedule.

So I say—breastfeed as long as the female parent desires – and who cares what other people think?
