 It's not just about the milk, I you become a human dummy.
Also, once the child is eating and has teeth, I personally feel that the nutritional benefit for the child is diminished as humans are not meant to be on a liquid diet.. It becomes more about comfort/dummy and attachment issues.

"I think 7 is probably too old but it's down to individual parents to decide. " I think probably is an understatement ? I also find it odd we think it's always "up to the individual" I'm sorry to say but a proportion of individuals are incompetent , dangerous , misguided, indoctrinated , deluded, miss informed , public liabilities

"I breast fed my first child until I wanted to conceive again so about 13/ 14 months and people felt able to make unfavourable comments about that but I ignored them. However by that time they usually only want a feed for comfort last thing at night, so I imagine this 7 year old will only be having a comfort feed now and again. " That's exactly it. Comfort. I don't think the child would develop psychological issues because they are breast fed longer, as a previous poster has implied. However I feel they should be taught other coping mechanisms, instead of resorting to the easiest option. | |||

"places like Africa they breastfeed till the child decides to stop" I don't think you can compare the UK to Africa when it comes to a food source. In the UK the preferred age to wean is 6 months... It used to be 4. We have all sorts of nutritious foods available to feed our young. Africa is a developing country, so there's no doubt in my mind those children would benefit nutritionally from extended feeding. | |||

In my opinion it is child abuse x"think equating the attachment that the mother and a child has whereby the mother has fed the child herself and 'child abuse' is somewhat bizarre tbh.. as most parents will know who have raised children using the mother's milk the time when they are off that source will differ and 7 does seem very late but not sure that that is anyone business but the parents.. | |||

this mother could have an attachment issue (whatever that is) but I don't see how either of us can possibly know that. I also don't see how either of us can know the effect it will have on the child in the long run.
I don't know the case personally, we have no details we don't even know if its true but if it is I still think that its parental choice."I would suggest allowing a 7 year old child to breast feed is an indicator the mother has issues that should be addressed ? Give people choice without guidance and parameters and bad choices are made x if that choice affects only them that's good if it affects someone else questions need to be asked This senate is a logical and statistical simplicity Risk reward Are there any benefits for the child in its future answer non Is there a statistical increase in future problems , absolutely Even if the potential was one in 100000 for this continuing causing future psychological concerns the fact there is zero benifit means the risk is non justified | |||

"Attachment she needs to feel needed .its a control thing a gift only she can give .sounds exceptionally selfish to me Just because she wants to does not mean she should do " If that is the case I agree, but I don't know her. I feel that women get the short straw where parenting is concerned, breast feed too long you have attachment issues, not long enough you don't care enough for your child's health and so on. | |||

Is it wrong for a mother to comfort her child? "Not at all! but I feel that by the age of 7, it would be beneficial to the child to have taught them alternative ways to find comfort, rather than using the breast. Plus in this case the mum was very very tired and even said herself that it was taking its toll and some nights she was sleeping on the child's bedroom floor.. I don't see that as being ultimately beneficial, when there are other ways to comfort. | |||

"I think if they got teeth they can chew food ! Lol . Sure Y milks for those that can't digest food ? Ie baby's which goes back to my original post. Surely once the child is capable of eating, then the nutritional value is gone, and therefore comes down to the comfort side of things. But I must admit, that's the hardest bit to wean.. Especially at 4am when the baby is protesting!
Is it wrong for a mother to comfort her child?
Not at all! but I feel that by the age of 7, it would be beneficial to the child to have taught them alternative ways to find comfort, rather than using the breast. Plus in this case the mum was very very tired and even said herself that it was taking its toll and some nights she was sleeping on the child's bedroom floor.. I don't see that as being ultimately beneficial, when there are other ways to comfort. "Ah right I understand, it doesn't seem to be doing the mum any good. | |||

"This no way a sexual thing. I seen a programme on sky, where mothers were breast feeding there of all ages. There was one woman who was adopting a 16mth old toddler from china and was trying to get the child back on her breast. Just thought I would get other peoples thoughts on this. Sorry if I upset anyone " I saw that as well Was weird I fed my two but no way would I as they older or an adopted child either but I guess she wanted to make a stronger bond | |||

Sorry if I upset anyone " You certainly didn't upset me it's been an interesting discussion. You make a good point when you say it's in no way sexual I think some people get confused on that issue and it could be part of their objection (I exclude commentators on this thread from that remark). | |||

"Quote from World Health Organisation: If every child was breastfed within an hour of birth, given only breast milk for their first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding up to the age of two years, about 800 000 child lives would be saved every year. Just sayin is all "Exactly what we would have said!! | |||
