Three cheers for a nursing celeb mom. And, moms who think extending nursing is gross are often deep down guilty they didn’t manage to nurse for one reason or another. No, it doesn’t always go easily in the beginning. i had every problem under the sun, but so glad I stuck it out. I nursed oldest til she was three and tandem nursing her with younger sibling for 18 months. and that youngest is still nursing at 3. We joke that it’s time to stop, but clearly she had a need for that time with mom. Why would I take away the thing that makes her so happy. soon enough the day will come when she won’t want it. Why rush it?

All the breastfeeding haters can keep pumping their kids full of melamine, fluoride and chlorine. I’m going to keep breastfeeding my 2.5 year-old twins as long as it works for us. People who are grossed out by breastfeeding need to grow up. Christina proves once again she’s no Britney by doing the right thing.

yea for Christina!!! My youngest is almost 18 months old and he is still BFing!! I dont plan on stopping until he decides its time to stop. its the best thing for him and I am very proud that I can do that for him. So no matter what her reasons for BFing good for her for even doing it because a majority of women dont!! :) YEA FOR YOU CHRISTINA!!! Keep up the good work :)

Lisa – have YOU ever breastfed a child? I have three kids – the y0ungest is going to be 2 next week and YES I am still breastfeeding her. The other two stopped on their own right before their 2nd birthdays. I can tell you that I NEVER imagined myself as one of “those” moms who breastfeed in public. And, once I tried it after my first child was born, I almost gave up. I had mastitis and had to be treated with antibiotics. My breasts hurt so much I spent several days in tears. Same thing happened with my second and third. Is it worth it? Of course. Come on. American women are such wimps about this stuff. My kids have rarely been sick, are smart, social and very well rounded, secure individuals. Would this be so if they weren’t breastfed? Maybe. I don’t know. All I know is I did the best I could for THEM which turned out in the long run to also be the best thing for me. I am 45 years old and can still enjoy those sweet, tender moments with my daughter because she wants to.

Sounds like you don’t know much about this subject at all. It’s not “yucky” or “gross” unless of course you are a teenager watching someone breastfeed for the first time. But teenagers pop their zits in the mirror and I find this kind of gross. I hardly think this is in the same category.

Are you a teenager, Lisa?

Extended breastfeeding is nasty. I know of a woman named Jeanette who breastfed her favorite daughter for 3 years. That kid has mental problems and the breastfeeding sure didn’t make her very healthy. I suspect Jeanette wishes the kid, who is now 15, was still sucking on her.

Seriously all those Mothers out there who Breastfeed and think you are better then the Mothers who Forumla feed you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!!!! Does it really matter if a child is Breastfed or not…isnt the important thing that the Child is Loved, Cared For and Fed PERIOD Breast or Formula?!?!?! Some people cant do it and for this you look down on them….Really??? Your NO better then a BUM on the Streets begging for Money for DRUGS!!!!! Just because you Breastfeed does NOT make you a Good Mother…Really it doesnt! The important think is that the Child eats and gets his/her nourishment!!!!!!!! So really, to all those Breastfeeding Mothers who look down on people who DONT Breastfeed…get a grip and get a life!!!!! ;)

Come on if you really think that she is that shallow that the only reason she is breastfeeding is to keep her large breasts you are crazy! Just because she loves the side effects of nursing doesnt mean that is the only reason she is doing it.

I think I’ts kind of gross to breastfeed your baby after it starts walking. I mean, have your kid run over for his or her lunch is to much.

Breastfeeding is the best thing you can do for your baby. I am so glad to see a young celebrity doing it. It is a good first step to normalizing breastfeeding. Our culture has lost so much to the bottle, it’s time to get it back!
