It's also a source of natural maternal antibodies. Think of the sacrifices she made for you, lactating for the better part of 8 years or to keep you as healthy as you could be without a load of antibiotics. Please talk to her about all the things she did for that time period... and most of all, why :)

It sounds like she really, really doesn't want to accept that her little "baby" is growing up. I can't imagine how she'll react when you start dating...

at least she cares about you?

This took a lot dedication on her part! At least she didn't just walk around squirting milk in as needed!

I just came across a video about a company in Israel called Mama's who sell donated human breast milk as a replacement for cow breast milk! It's funny how people tasting it in the video were grossed out at the thought of it being from a woman, and yet they drink cow's milk :P

You strong kid

I nursed til I was 6, nothing wrong or weird about it.

Norman is that you???

Pretty funny, but scientifically it is the most amazing thing for the human body. still though, WTF mom?

Be happy, it's packed full of nutrients and probably boosted your immune system! She LOVES you.
