You guys are seariously screwed up if you think breastfeeding at 8 is normal! At that age we start to develop our first crush ... How about looking into psychology and speaking to professional people like psychologists or psychiatrists, see what they say? Cultural thing or not, it is WARPED! In poorer societies, yeah I agree too, they must do what they can for survival - food is scarce. Do you also know that in certain cultures 8 yr old girls are married off to older guys? Does that mean I can take a child of the same age, call him my husband, have sex with him and claim it to be normal because 'other cultures say it is OK?' Get real! Those kids in the documentary seemed so slow ... What high IQ did they display? Drawing breasts? Naming them? They were definitely fixated with the topic. "I don't want to be big, I want breast milk". Does this sound normal to you? People who continue this breastfeeding practice until their children are past 4 are sick! And how then is breastfeeding not used as an erotic activity when the husband joins in?
