Like I'm talking about present and past posts, for instance the one where they said it's weird to breastfeed a 1-2 year old or talking about Mums being addicted to breastfeeding... Yadda yadda yadda. Do you think they do that to try and slyly take digs at Mums who breastfeed?

God forbid a child THEIR OWN MUMS drinks breast milk but absolutely fine to drink breast milk from another species!

What you’re describing doesn’t even sound all thst ‘sly’…….

Yep definitely

Sounds like outright digs, not sly at all. I haven't seen a lot of that but comments like that always make me think of the Deperate Housewives episode where the mom was breastfeeding her young child (I think he was 5 or 6) and I just laugh because I start remembering other things about the show. Basically, I don't let them get to me. 2 1/2 is as far as I've gotten breastfeeding so far 🤷♀️ and I let all mine naturally wean

I don’t think the conversation is about breast milk vs cows milk but rather is breast feeding at 3 years old or older considering the best interest for the child since the nutritional value of breast milk past a certain age does not out compete with just feeding your child a health diet.
It seems like a lot of mothers breastfeed past three for their own self interest not the child’s, especially if the child is refusing to breastfeed yet the mother forces such interaction. Perhaps breast milk in a sippy cup works great!
Also no longer is developmental milestone considered in the same way as it once was for children under 3 compared to 3 and older. for example: walking, talking, eating. I’d imagine the next stage of developmental milestones for a 3 and up is much much different than a baby under 1.
3 year olds start to be capable of feeding self, talking more, and running/playing. And perhaps breast feeding a five year old for an example could cause regression.
The issue isn't the mothers who breastfeed it's the women who sexualize it. I even see it on Facebook posts of old hags and young hags saying "oh if the baby is old enough to hold their head up then they are old enough to use a cup". My favorite post on here was the Mum being anal because she was over another Mums house and that Mum started breastfeeding her child and she thought that was rude for HER child to see a breast

Still occasionally breastfeeding my three year old ✌️ come at me 🤗 I’ve had hate from people very close to me since she turned one, so I’m bare knuckled at this point. Breastmilk never ceases to be beneficial

People take digs on breastfeefing and formula moms pretty equally on here in my experience

I think a lot of posts on here are to shit on mothers some way or another. Women can be cruel and jealous
