Breastfeeding children as old as six, is very normal in Mongolia, so much so that infant babies are wrapped up in bundles of fabric and furrs, if they make a peep, the mother or shared carer's will just throw a boob in its mouth. Breastfeeding in public is also completely normal, so if you don't like it don't visit Mongolia.

I read about a Mongolian girl who breast fed up till the ripe old age of 9. Crazy hey, I still like sucking on boobies.

Extended breastfeeding has all sorts of health benefits. So I wouldn't be surprised. Formula stops being better than regular milk around a year of age, but what with all the probiotics in breastmilk, it can continue to benefit the child for as long as a family chooses to breastfeed.

Another reason for this is that there are nerves on the areola that pick up on chemicals in the child's saliva. This is why breastmilk is able to adapt to the child's needs every time. That includes changing to fit the child's age, as well as changing if the child is sick. A lot of mum's who breastfeed and pump notice that after feeding a sick child, their pumped milk tends to more closely resemble colostrum than regular breastmilk.

Even if people don't feed directly (as a lot of people get uncomfortable with it when the child reaches a certain age), a lot of modern moms are pumping and making popsicles and stuff out of their breastmilk for their toddlers. Even if the milk can't adapt as well, there are still plenty of nutritional benefits from the probiotics that can't be found anywhere else.

Some mum's even found that bathing their infant in pumped breastmilk helped alleviate things like cradle cap and other baby skin conditions.

The human body is pretty amazing. I'm a full proponent of letting children wean when they are ready (so long as the mother is also comfortable with it, of course).

You can also buy donor milk, if you can't breastfeed yourself. But it's really expensive (unless you can make a cheaper arrangement with someone you already know). It would also be hard to get for a kid who is over a year old, just because it is in such high demand. NICU babies get priority.

I don't have kids. But I work with babies. And I plan to have kids later. So I do a lot of research on the subject.

Some other fun facts include the fact that adopted children can also be breastfed, as lactation can be induced. It can be done chemically or through regular stimulation. It has just as many nutritional benefits. (The milk itself does. To my knowledge you can not induce colostrum production). The American Academy of Pediatrics even recommends breastfeeding adopted children.

Also, men can technically lactate. At the moment, it hasn't been studied enough to be recommended for infants and fathers, and men are far more likely to have trouble producing enough to feed a baby. But the studies are being done, and there are more and more advancements in medicine that may one day allow men to breastfeed. Which is pretty neat. Probably not for most families. But I'm sure there are some men who would jump at the opportunity (e. g. single fathers and families with two dads).

Also, just to be clear, there's nothing wrong with formula feeding either. Every family can make their own decisions. I just think that the human body is really cool.

That's probably a longer answer than you were expecting.

[monkeynutts]

I appreciate the time you spent typing, and being so thoughtful and informative. Thanks.

[weasley8]

No problem. :) It's a cool question.

[Wonderer89]

There are body builders buying breastmilk for it’s supposed muscle supporting properties so sure, why not
www.health.com/.../bodybuilders-drinking-breast-milk

[monkeynutts]

It should be the collostrum, it's the immune factors, otherwise they are just paying an enormous price for some lady to keep squeezing it into a bottle for no reason.

[Daniela1982]

Those dorks take steroids too which causes early deaths from what I have seen. So drinking breast milk is just a fetish for them.

[Daniela1982]

But Mongols don't suck, they bite! It's like putting an alligator on your boob. You can only breastfeed once, after that there is nothing left to suck on.

[ThisAndThat]

Breast feeding until 6 could possibly prevent feminized males that support feminism, keep them away from the soy prevent them from being cucked blue pills. And breast feeding in public is likely only a big deal in the US.

[monkeynutts]

I'm not sure what would happen if the kindergarteners were chasing around their school teacher trying to get at their boobs.

[ThisAndThat]

Given today's teachers and the public school system it's probably safe to assume.

[OlderAndWiser]

I have never had children and I don't really have an opinion on this subject.

[midnightmoon05]

Not sure if there is correlation.
Heard its the only food source any one person can live on without any other food.

Also, it has been consider brain food and old days, empores, kings, take on midwifes for breastmilk into their adult age.

[monkeynutts]

Not sure if it is a whole food source, I know that the Kalahari bushman mix blood into their cow's milk. They nick the animal and drain a little out of its body.

[Daniela1982]

No, the Israelites lived on Manna for 40 years and had no milk..

[Poppykate]

That’s funny... 🤔... that how I deal with most men. If they make a peep, or get fussy I just throw a boob in it’s mouth... lol 😂

[monkeynutts]

Yeah that would sort me out.

[Daniela1982]

Don't do that, then they would all be peeping like chicks in a chicken breeding farm.

[Poppykate]

@Daniela1982 lol 😂 A lady that gets my sense of humour! 🙌

[purplepoppy]

I suckled from a nanny goat. Had to wrestle it into submission or I'd go hungry. Made me into the woman I am today.

[monkeynutts]

Haha, nanny goat. Keep wrestling those animals.

[menina]

I don't think so. Sure, breastfeeding is important but until the age of six it becomes strange.
Also, a six year old can bite his mother, not to mention that it must be uncomfortable.
I don't believe in this.

[SexyAshh]

I mean its great for the immune system so sure🤷‍♀️😄

[monkeynutts]

Yep, I would never turn you down alright.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

Breast feeding is necessary for healthy development for all children.

[monkeynutts]

But does it make you manly and tough when your older?

[HumansExist]

If having a stronger immune system counts as "manly and tough" then sure.

[monkeynutts]

@HumansExist it will definitely put more hair on your ballbag.

[HumansExist]

Welp, I don't have balls so I guess that doesn't apply... though, does that mean that being breastfed would increase testosterone levels then?
I mean, aren't testosterone levels responsible for muscle growth?
Hmm... this has become an interesting question.

[monkeynutts]

@HumansExist testosterone production in females is produced in the adrenal glands, ovaries, and peripheral tissues. So you manufacture the hormone, but not the same as a male does

[HumansExist]

I know females can have testosterone (it's what gives them pubic hair and hair under the armpits... also the increase in sex drive later in life too).
I was stating that I don't have balls... though, now that I think about it, is hair on the balls just another area of pubic hair?
Eh, never really thought about it.

[BlackRoseFairy]

Breastfeeding a child till it is 6 years old is a bit extreme... I voted B.

[Daniela1982]

The older the child is the more he needs to eat. As the kid sucks harder the nipple often collapses and air gets into the kid's stomach, then Wahhhhhhhhhhh! colic and gas #BURP#!!

[BlackRoseFairy]

By the age of six they also have teeth which is not pleasant at all to the nipple.
In Mongolia it might be common practice but we should take into consideration the living conditions. Compared to countries where kids at the age of 4 go to preschool you can understand that it would be impossible for the mom to be there and provide a boob whenever the child is hungry.
Also a prolonged breastfeeding period has been associated with a negative impact on the child's independence and are often linked to a child's malnutrition. Furthermore it raises the risk for the mother to develop a fungal breast infection and experience severe pain during the breastfeeding.
So in my opinion breastfeeding is good and it certainly has a lot of advantages for the newborn, but it should not be abused.

[HumansExist]

Hmm... those ladies must be pretty strong to be able to carry a six year old.
Anyway, I don't know about wrestling, but they'll have stronger immune systems due to being breastfed.

[Dchrls78104]

Never heard of a six year old boy still feeding on his mother's breasts in my country.

[monkeynutts]

What country is that?

[Dchrls78104]

Trinidad and Tobago

[monkeynutts]

Most other cultures age 2 is the general limit, Mongolian people are proud of their heritage, and breastfeeding is considered very important, old people are even given breast milk as medicine.

[CasaNorba]

I believe so since human milk is the only food that contains all the ingredients for human beings. so i say the longer they consume it the more invincible they'll become!

[Exterminatore]

I have no idea if I was bottle fed or breast fed. I think breast feeding until 6 years old is abnormal. I have no idea if breast feeding until that age has any bearing on them being good wrestlers.

[ChefCurry]

I'd make my kid fend for himself by the age of 3.

[monkeynutts]

That's good, most would cut them off at age 1.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yeah it could make them good Wrestlers , why don't WWE Wrestling look for
some guys to recruit in who was breastfeed to age 6 . LMAO

[Drooogie4]

Breastfeeding kids past a year old is weird stuff.

[monkeynutts]

World health organisation says it's best to do it up to 2 years of age.

[Drooogie4]

I guess if you wanna keep pumping. But watching a toddler being breastfed is weird.

[optimistgirl]

Bro your logic is out of wack... someone needs to take more science classes

[AynonOMouse]

Nah, I know skinny weaklings that were breastfed too. It doesn't matter.

[Philyouup]

Not sure about that, but I would
Like to breast feed

[MisterSir]

Yeah just like these modern day Mongol warriors.

[monkeynutts]

Mistersir, still on the tit!

[MisterSir]

thank you

[John_Doesnt]

They're good at wrestling fun bags.

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Probably lol
