See, I find that comment very ignorant. I am just wondering what research you have found to back up your opinion? And you didn't explain why you think they have emotional issues?

I think people who have a problem with extended breastfeeding have a problem with it because they are like sheep who conform to society's viewpoints, even if it means jeopardizing the health of a child. Our society is one of the few that reject extended breastfeeding, while it is a perfectly natural thing other places around the world.

BTW, the ignorance in this comment is also apparent in your grammar. It should say: I think people who breast feed to age 5 have emotional issues.

Thanks for your comment, though. Its nice to know someone is reading my journal LOL.

either way it goes,or is said,Ithink there is some emotional attachment issue,of "letting go". No healthy child needs to be breast fed that long...and that is JUST MY opinion. But that's your life style,so what ever floats your boat. and there is  No ignorance in my tone or comment,just stating my opinion. I have my personal feelings about smoking,spanking,cio,etc... as does everyone else.
