Mine didn't get hers until 9 months and I didn't have too much trouble...

Who the hell cares?

My 7 month old just got her first tooth 3 days ago. I don't think she's quite figured out how to use it yet!

Smack! On the nose with a rolled up newspaper! I'm kidding!!! Time to pump and bottle feed.

#75, Nope, gotta save the newspaper swat for when he bites OP on the ass.

In some states its not abuse if it doesn't leave a mark or harm the child for more than a few moments. I personally support spanking the bastards. Makes them grow up better

I must agree with that statement kind person lol

What does the fact that you're a guy have to do with it? Guys have nipples too.

Yes we do, although we don't usually have infants sucking and biting them. Hopefully...

They aren't as sensitive as females in that area.

Does it make them hard too?

114, since this has nothing to do with hard nipples, you'll never know.

You cannot unseen that stuff, trust me!

Certainly a tit-illating video...

The WHO recommends to breast feed until the age of 2 and world wide the weaning ages is 4-7 mostly children in the USA the age is 4 when a child's wean... Please be more educated in breast feeding before making comments like you did.

I fail to see where doc made any breastfeeding reconmendations...

Oi! He mention women who breast feed past one are nut jobs and I was pointing that it is normal. I personally will not breast feed at age 8 but just because some breast feed that age are not nut jobs.

WHO as in the band? Be more specific!

world health organization... Look them up

56 1) Dr.Who? 2) Damn. I must be blind because I do not see that anywhere in his post..

Once again dog, I mentioned WHO not Dr. Who.

@48- Most expectant mothers know breastfeeding is the best but some do not want to or cannot breastfeed until 2. It is their personal choice. I had no problem breastfeeding my son infront of other,providing they didnt mind. I do not see it as sexualized for any woman to do so(referring to your other comment). I did so until he was 3 1/2 months, he's now a normal 3 1/2 year old and has only ever been sick once just recently for the first time (besides the sniffles). I do think woman should try, if possible, but again it is their choice.

I know that... My mother had problems breast feeding but I was pointing how he called the women nut jobs for their personal choice

Winner!

Mookiisfabulous - You seem to be on a bit of a soap box here, but your research is startlingly inaccurate. That is to say the article that popped up first on google is a bunch of bullshit. Worldwide less than half of kids nurse by 23 months. Sure, the WHO recommends breast feeding until 2, but I recommend not spewing utter horseshit here, but who actually listens to THAT advice?

Wouldn't it be counter-productive to their growth to still be breastfeeding a child at the age of 2? By the age of 2 to 2-and-a-half, my children were eating solids and wanted to learn how to use cutlery. They were starting to learn how to hold mugs without spilling them and learning to use straws instead of sippy cups because it made them feel like "grown ups". I felt comfortable knowing that they were starting to become their own person; starting to learn about the world and how to look after themselves (to an extent, of course). To still be treating a 2 year old like a baby who needs only breastmilk seems...well, like I said...counter productive to their growth.

They will still receive normal diets, breast milk has the antibodies and benefits in their diets that will keep them healthy. It also boast their development. By age 2, they are normally nursing two or three times a day like nap time or bed time so it's not interfering any of their becoming dependent abilities. No mom is treating them like babies, they will decide if they want it or not. My daughter is almost one and already knows how to drink from a sippy cup and straw... She can hand sign milk when she wants to nurse and gets hand full solids a day...

My mother, who was a midwife, believes in letting children wean themselves off the breast. My elder sister stopped breastfeeding when she was just under two. Apparently there's a hormone that changes the flavour of the milk during pregnancy so that you're not still feeding baby #1 when baby #2 is born. I breastfed until the age of three. Of course a child that age isn't solely breastfed; I was given solids at a few months old and hit all the milestones at the right age. There comes a point where breastfeeding is more for comfort and bonding than for nutrition.

Not necessarily. Sometimes they bite cause their gums are itching from the teeth that are cutting out of their gums. Doesn't mean they aren't hungry.
