Breastfeeding past age 5

[dishealth]

Breastfeeding can be a challenge after a certain age and we are looking for a mom that still breast feeding her kids after the "normal" age of breastfeeding.  There's the famous video on Youtube of a mom breastfeeding her 8 y/o child,  is there a similar story in the US that you have heard of?

That's strange, in my opinion.  Probably NOT benefiting anyone.

Yes, I know someone nursing a 5 year old.

age three is to old but the bond is wonderful

I'm not judgmental, but at that age if it's being done for the health and benefit of the child, why not pump?

You ask unusual questions,  dishealth.  

Are you taking a class in abnormal parenting or something similar?  I'm curious.

I havent after that age but I have known many Moms who breast feed to at least 2 year old ,I believe in other countries its considered very normal and sometimes the only source of nourishment , I have to say that 8 year old seems a long time..
