It would be interesting to hear from kids who are or were breast fed to an older age.
We have 4 kids about 3 years apart. My wife has breast fed each until the next was born 3 years and then tandem fed for a month or two after.
The last is 4 and still feeding. We have had a couple of discussions about how long to feed for. I think it is a bit wierd but then I am weird anyway. Maybe it is just not the norm. Anyway it would still be interesting to hear from people who were breast fed longer.
Do any bottles with disposable liners contain the chemical Bisphenol A?

Human milk banks are experiencing an unprecedented breast-milk shortage, forcing them to turn away babies in need. Can you donate any?

Hasn't it bothered her at being nursing that long? I really wanted a break between kids. I know my 4 year old says she sometimes misses nursing still... specially with the anticipation of a baby taking over that activity very soon here.

In answer to the question
"Hasn't it bothered her at being nursing that long?"
At times it has obviously been a problem. Like if my wife has some activity or other that she has to get to and my daughter wants to be nursed.
I think that in general she (my wife) gets a feeling of accomplishment. Also of protecting our daughter. She says she is uncomfortable when our daughter asks for it in front of others.
I saw a video on youtube of an English mother who breast fed until 7 or 8 and I showed that to my wife and she was made positive comments.
I would still like to hear from anyone who themselves was breast fed for an extended period of time.
