Should Your 9 Year Old Be Allowed to Breastfeed?

Really!? I am sitting here trying to figure out why this is so disturbing to me and I realize because it is making my daughter focus on something that honestly is mentally difficult for ME to comprehend. Hey I did the boob juice thing – and let me tell you friends, I went to the extreme to get it done. I INDUCED LACTATION FOR GOD’S SAKES with pills, I pumped for months on end when my kids were in NICUs….you want dedication!? I WAS DEDICATED. Hell I could have been the POSTER girl for La Leche…the sisters over there worshiped me. They wanted to make molds of my breasts to worship and then go on a book tour. Okay Okay maybe not but still…fact is I am a firm believer in breastfeeding….
That being said. I am also a huge fan of sex, sipping wine, gambling and all other kinds of activities that we adults like to do. I would argue that for consenting adults sex is just as natural as breastfeeding but I am not buying my sons an inflatable doll so they can practice now. JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE THINGS WE DO AS ADULTS, DOES NOT MEAN OUR CHILDREN SHOULD BE EMULATING A BEHAVIOR THAT IS NATURAL FOR AN ADULT AS A CHILD. Look I am sure my daughter will be having cocktails with us when she is of age – am I giving her pretend little vodka and martini sets to start practicing how to mix mama a mai thai?!! (Oh…note to self ..not a bad idea to have the KIDS mix the drinks to save time so I can do my makeup…I kid I kid.)
Honestly, just take a look at that picture with that little girl. Feeling a little awkward? Wanna look away? Doesn’t something inside just make you feel like…”oh thats not right.” Yeah…I thought so.
Bottom line: Don’t try THIS at home kids.
