Amanda Hurst, the 28-year-old mother of 5-year-old Jonathan, proudly told Closer that she plans to breastfeed him until he's a teenager:
“I’m proud to still be breastfeeding my son … It’s natural, no matter how old the child is … The bond is amazing. And I’ve got more than enough to go round so I’m happy to feed other children … Jonathan will want it less as he grows up, but right now he loves it. And I’m happy to go on, even when he’s a teenager!”
There are so many things in this statement that make me uncomfortable. I'm not sure where to begin. I'm certain that Jonathan should not be breastfeeding as a teenager. Also, I'm certain that if another woman offered to breastfeed my baby, I would turn her down. [Closer]
