Poll: How Old Is Too Old For Breastfeeding?

Friday October 3, 2008

A video entitled Extraordinary Breastfeeding has been making its way around the web with comments galore. The reason? An English mum is still breastfeeding her 8-year-old daughter on demand. Taking into consideration that the worldwide average age of breastfeeding children is 4-years-old, this made me curious. How old do you think is too old for breastfeeding? Take my poll and let's chat about it in my forum.
