That is obvious right from the beginning. She is more interested in breastfeeding her son, not her baby because he is not a baby any more. I still think that it is at least partly that she doesn't want to be intimate with her partner, and it's obvious that he finds the whole thing repulsive. I really don't see them staying together much longer.
É Caoimhe yes I replayed the very beginning part where they said " to add insult to injury he's also been diagnosed with...." then all you hear is the kid screaming. Did any one catch what it is he has cause after replaying it like 10 times I give up
Toby's mom is at fault in this episode, she could have called up the father to check up on the kid, rather than going and feeding him and later coming and blaming the father that is lame.
48:33 She knew exactly what she was doing... but to blame your husband is just wrong. I don't fault him for bring upset. And, she lied about be being so full because she didn't mention it at all. Can't she see her depence on it is ruining her relationship???
There are pumps for that purpose. Plus, she doesn't churn out record amounts like the mother of a three months old. According to that logic no mother can ever wean a kid off breastfeeding.
petrairene exactly! I think she’s incredibly selfish. Her poor husband. She’s lucky he’s still there. She woke that boy up to shove her boob in his mouth. I find that disturbing tbh.
If the mother doesn’t want to stop breastfeeding her 2-year-old, she needs help. I feel sorry for the older brother (Timu), he needs more attention from the parents, and the mother is allowing the younger brother (Toby) to take all of the parents’ attention away from Timu.
The whole situation pissd me off especially whn she blamed hubby for her waking the child up n purposely breastfeeding knowing she jus said she knew it was time to stop. im glad he shouted at her she got issues an she needs to know how fed up he is
tina andersen , I couldnt believe it! He went rigjt to sleep and Toby only woke up cause of her. I wish Tanya would replay that for her and ask her about that. Its kinda almost to the point where its gross
Tony knows her struggle with this - that's why Dr. Tanya told him to be in change of Toby all night. She snuck in the there - I know it sounds like she's a child, but they needed to make her stay out with the other parents and have Tony stay near Toby's bedroom to be the one to catch him when he wakes up. And I nursed a toddler...you don't get uncomfortably full anymore like when they were babies. If she IS getting full, expressing a little is the way to go - not continuing to nurse him. For them, it's become a toxic relationship. It's not like that for all nursing toddlers.
Stacie M , i think that was the plan. For Tony to deal with it. Although I cant say 100% I feel like she deliberatly went in the room and woke him up and then complained about it. Hopefully they were able to get through this. I wish they did updates of the kids cause they are young adults now (if not, close to it)
I absolutely adore Tanya! She is such an inspiration and perfect example of choosing the right career path! Also, that breastfeeding mother is lying to herself. I just don't understand. Once a child has teeth to eat food there is no need to breastfeed. Every mammal knows instinctively when to stop. She is holding her child back developmentally for her own selfishness then blames.dad? No wonder he wants to leave. She wants coddled like a child. Unbelievable.
At the end of the day, she wants a newborn baby again. She’s keeping him from developing without even realizing it. She’s having trouble with him growing up and thus she’s using the excuse that breast milk is healthy for toddlers as a reason to continue. She’s being selfish. Just listen to her talk about it. She uses it as an emotional crutch.
He was still a toddler. It’s so sad that she wasn’t enjoying the toddler stage with him, which is so much more fun than babyhood, because they can do so much more and communicate with you. She needed ongoing professional help in order to let go of the baby stage and embrace each stage of development with him. She did it with her older son, so it’s odd that she’s having so much trouble now.

I think breastfeeding is wonderful.....for babies. When the child is demanding and saying that they want the boob....thats too old. I lnow many who nurse their 3 or 4 year old children. Those kids are very clingy and demanding. Part of parenting is allowing them to grow. We can't keep our preschool age children babies.
I agree(off topic. Something is seriously wrong with my phone. I have the volume up yet I don't hear the normal clicking sound that I normally hear when I am typing and I love hearing that sound.
Ashlie...well said. All the back and forth in the comment section...but people only focus on the nutritional needs and what daddy government says is ok. They miss the real issue ... breastfeeding has a HUGE impact on the emotional, mental, biological and spiritual needs of both mother and child. Of course, everything can have a positive/negative effect. But nothing is as visceral or long-lasting as breastfeeding. Alex will no doubt stop breastfeeding one day. But if her own issues aren't resolved, she will find another way to keep her codependency relationships going. And just objective observation...her excessively emotional needs are still not being met. This is commonly found in people who feel the need to contribute something but don't. Which, unfortunately, has become 90% of the public. Maybe Alex needs a hobby, lol
TheyLive YouSleep Alex's dependency on her son is not healthy - everyone watching can see that. However, the fact that her codependent behavior is manifested in her nursing relationship with Toby does not in any way reflect upon the relationships other mothers have with they nursing toddlers. My daughter who nursed until she was almost three just needed that comfort at sleep time. It certainly did NOT hold back her development or lead to any mental health issues. She's now 15yrs old, is in all advanced high school curriculum, is the HEALTHIEST human being I've ever met (we call her the bionic woman because she never gets sick and is taller and stronger than any of her family members), and is confident and independent. I rarely share my breastfeeding experiences with my three children because of the remarks throughout this comment section. People who think it's cute when a three year old has chocolate milk and/or pop in a bottle or still walking around with a pacifier or in diapers. Those are all man-made creations whereas breasts come as standard equipment on most females ❤️!!
Stacie...no offense... but in your haste to school me, you misread my post. Lol. It never said breastfeeding holds children back. It only stated the obvious..that breastfeeding is one of the most important connections between mother and child...beyond just the biological reasons. And like anything in this world, breastfeeding properly...or improperly...can have both positive or negative impacts. And although your experience has had a certain outcome...congrats btw :)...it's not a blanket cause and effect fact. There are millions of beautiful, strong, happy children who were not breastfed. And there are millions of sickly, poorly adjusted kids who were. The point of my first post...there's a lot more going on with Alex than just the breastfeeding. By using breastfeeding (a mental, physical, and spiritual connection) as her crutch, it can have a lasting impact that may not be so obvious. But taking something away doesn't always address the underlying emotional issues one has.
TheyLive YouSleep I agree with what everyone has said about Alex, though I feel she is being blamed for what looks very much like clinical depression. And, yes, I did misread your post...I was up with a stomach bug and was literally so tired I felt like I was drunk lol! Reading my own reply even perplexes me...my last couple of sentences make almost no sense 😆!
I have learned that breast feeding is a very personal thing and when to stop can be even more personal. I used to think if the child can walk up and lift your shirt and practically unhook your bra that should have been done and over long before. I have learned though that is not the way it is. Just because I would not be ok in the least with that doesnt mean it is wrong. However, when you are sabotaging the relationship with your husband and using your child as a pawn to do so you have a major issue! Maybe she wants out of the marriage and is using this as a means out? Maybe she feels she is being bullied into giving up feeding or maybe she feels that is the only thing she is good for.. There is more to this than we can possibly know. Hmm and she lied. It was clear in the video that she woke the child. Then she blames the husband for not hearing the kid cry because she shoved a boob in his mouth to stifle him. Does she not know she was on film?
It isn't Tobie who's addicted to breastfeeding, it's his mother. She woke him up the first time. He wanted to be left alone. When she laid him down the second time, he still wanted to be left alone. & she shouldn't be that badly engorged, she's not a full time feeder. I breastfed my youngest until 22 months. My biggest problem was him trying to fight to get under my shirt & me not allowing it. She better grow up. My son is also my last of 2. Of course the problem isn't w/her baby, it's w/her.🍼😿😿
Absolutely nothing wrong with breastfeeding a 2 year old. But feeding constantly throughout the night to the point where everyone is exhausted and demanding it whenever he wants is not a healthy breastfeeding relationship with a toddler. By then they are old Enough to develop some manners around it to save everyone’s sanity.
Taking away night time feeding first is what is needed. Nurse to sleep and that is it tell morning. Nothing wrong with nursing during the day. I don't like when the Dr. said. No nutritional value at this age. Umnm it does not expire. Lol. Always nutritional value.
@@crystalburke150 , but don't you think after a certain age, it's more an emotional thing and NOT a nutritional one. He can eat solids at 2, and doesn't survive on breast milk anymore. I mean the kid is always pulling up her shirt and it's not right. I think breadt feeding after 2 is more for emotional like a pacifier and not for nutrition. For some reason some moms want to argue that breast feeding at any age is okay because of nutrition and thats just not true. When a kid is walking up to his mom and u doing her blouse, there is something not right about it. Let's at least Dmitry that this is purely an emotional exercise, not one of nutrition.
That’s so wrong, she blatantly just woke him up to feed him because she needed “cuddles”, the boy wanted to go back to sleep, he’ll be totally confused now. I really hope we see Tanya talk to her about this
Breastfeeding is designed to feed a child as long as nutritional need exists. This enables babies to survive during famine. This mother is gratifying her own emotional needs at the expense of her husband, her elder son, and the 2-yr-old. Neurotic.
I breastfeeded my three kids up to nearly 2 years - and they are all independent and not-neurotic adults. It not important how long you breastfeed a child - it‘s important wether you let them get more and more independent as a person or not.
I agree. However, the frequency of feedings was definitely not normal. In a normal breastfeeding relationship, the number of feedings drops off with time. 8 night feedings at 2 is definitely disordered. 2 - 3 feedings in 24 hours is far more typical.
IZaubermausI if you don’t mind me asking...why? Why did you breastfeed for so long? Once children can eat what you eat and absorb all the nutrients needed, why did you continue to nurse? I’m just asking out of interest. I breastfed until mine were eating and drinking enough to meet their needs.
Why is the music so loud??? Why do you always have people talking over the narrator?? Each and every week myself and others comment about the "backgroud" music being so loud, playing over the narrator so you can not even hear what she is saying. It is just strange how they just crank up the music and voices when someone is talking so you can't hear a thing. Please fix this issue! It was so bad this episode! I love this series but this drives me bonkers.
It's sad the Macmillan's have so much difficulty expressing love. Love should be given freely and often to you children and spouse. I don't think a day has passed that I haven't told everyone in my home that I love them.
I feel so sad for people who struggle to praise their children for good behavior. I understand we can all have rough periods, but when you are shown how to do it, and still find it difficult to say that their child is clever and good, well it makes me sad.
tina andersen yes, that still makes me sad. If you are the 29 year old, I’m sorry. You are lovable, and I am sure your dad loves you, even if he doesn’t say it.
I think that mostly it has to do with the fact that they were never praised as children themselves and so it doesn't come easily to them. They can learn how to be different than their parents were but it takes time and struggle.
I was extremely disappointed that Tanya didn’t read that woman the riot act after waking up that child and breastfeeding him for her own selfish needs. Total BS! If I were Tony I’d have left right, then and there! She lied to his face!
The mother is a breast feeding addict, totaling screwed over her son, her confusion is now splayed upon her son. Good luck with your life. Freakin express...be a mother not a waif, your husband is right. WHY WAKE THE SON, PUT ON AN ACT, DISAPPOINTING.
All children lie, even the well behaved sweet ones. This is just an example on how easily the lie is spoken. Parents who claim their children never lie have their heads in the clouds.
Wow what a nasty needy selfish woman the breast feeding mother is. She is waaaaay high maintenance seeking to be the center of attention “my child needs me etc” I would not be able to deal with her at all. She has a big case of narcissism.
Can you imagine breastfeeding a child up to age three when the child has all of its first set of teeth? !!! ( ☼ ) ( ☼ ) !!! BTW Those are eyes. Get your mind out of the proverbial gutter!
I was curious how my post would appear. Thanks for posting to me. My father was breastfed until he started school at five years old. It retrospect, the stories I have heard others speak of and my own experience with my daughter have clouded my views. Again, thanks for the reply. I hope I didn't offend you.
@@cmmc3400 i took offense just cause I have a 11 month old and he still gets breast milk ( he never could latch on) however do understand your point, breast feeding to the point where they are in school is fully unseasciary and can cause dependency issues. It's kinda a case by case basis and something that should be talked more about . Also thanks for being so nice, you don't see that much on the internet :)
I love art. Art is my passion. As well as reading and writing. What a great please to take a child and I really do mean this for art can help with stress. Art can help with creativity.
When Alex doesn't even have Toby in her arms she's full of anxiety, she paces or slinks around in the background. Her arms are mostly folded in front of her. That's a sign of anxiety. It's like all she can think of is "when do I get to hold Toby or how can I sneak some time alone with Toby? " It's like she's addicted to Toby on her breasts. He doesn't need her, she needs him. It's psychological. Breasts are sexual, they have many nerves in them (please don't take this the wrong way.) Her husband is not picking up on her anxiety because he's so angry. Go forward. Don't look back. They need to work together. If she starts to feel anxious, then go over and put your head on your husband's shoulder or just sit next to him and hold his hand. The same goes for him. Don't let her become so anxious. He could go over and put his arm around her or give her a hug or take her hand and go sit on the couch together. Toby is not her husband/lover he's her child and I think that's what's bothering me. She's an adult and a mother but with her the boundaries are blurred between who's her child and who's her husband. This is what is so confusing and unhealthy for the child. It's not about giving him milk, it's all about her needs.
I think breastfeeding is an amazing thing to do. I tried with mine but unfortunately wasn’t able and I was very disappointed. On the other hand if your child is on adult food, walk and talking and your child is grabbing at your breast and sticking their hand up your shirt practically mauling you for lack of a better word it’s too much and frankly weird. Not In a sexual way of course but it feels wrong to me. Your no longer doing it for nutrition and you can bond with your child in a meaningful way without them constantly grabbing at you like your a milk machine or a human pacifier. Kids that age need to learn to soothe themselves without doing that.
Yh I also feel she deliberately woke him up would have been fine if she didn't go in. She could pump to feel comfortable. Could cuddle her husband for comfort. But yes I can also understand how she feels x
I think Toby’s mother is very lucky that she still has her husband around. She’s incredibly selfish. Edit...oh wow. She’s blatantly lying about her boobs being engorged. We’ve all been through that, you let them eventually go back to normal. She’s blaming her husband for what SHE did! She’s actually very pathetic.
Everyone is complaining about the breastfeeding, I have an issue with, beginning at 13:00 the exchange between Timue and Kelsey. He took the ball, hit her with it, was chasing her with it. Yes she did hit her head on the wood while running from him but he did hit her! Then at 14:30 her mother calls her a liar. Poor kid is a victim 2 x's, no wonder she does not trust her mother.....
The thumping music is so loud I can’t hear what’s being said. I just finally turned it off. It’s the same with all the episodes. I miss half of the content.
Oh my gosh! Toby freakin says "boob"! What in the world!!!!!! I can't with these parents. They feel bad disciplining their bad kids. So diff - it is the parents a lot of time but some of these kids behaviors are SO unacceptable !!!!
this show would be enjoyable, informative and educational if only we didn't have to listen to the consistent regurgitation of the families/children and their problems.........so annoying.
Let’s get something straight: breastfeeding at 2yrs is NOT the problem. How the family is handling it IS. The child is allowed to throw tantrums, and no sleep training has been implemented. Food should be offered far more often and nursing offered less, because toddlers need more food than milk. Dad has NO business demanding mom wean.Instead he should be focusing on helping this child cope with his emotions and work on good eating habits. Mom is hiding behind nursing to hide her lack of discipline and sleep training. Worldwide nursing toddlers is common and encouraged but the tantrums are not normal. The parents have allowed them to take over and what should be a normal weaning process, is failing. And no, the child behavioral specialist is not qualified to say anything about appropriate ages for weaning a child. A lactation specialist , a pediatrician and a mom, are qualified to say when to wean. She is qualified to have input on how the family is handling training, and discipline. They do have issues, and are using breastfeeding as an excuse
There is NOTHING wrong with a healthy extended breastfeeding relationship between mother and child. That is NOT what is happening with the toddler and his mother in this video. To shame breastfeeding mothers based on the dysfunctional dynamic shown here is ignorant. The world health organisation guidelines for breastfeeding, recommends breastfeeding for 2 years and beyond. A child drinking their own mother's milk is not strange. It's bizarre that people get so upset about a 2 year old dribking milk from his own mother, but are likely adults who drink milk from another mammal. Now THAT is weird.
Jessica Evans Thank you thank you thank you. I'm getting so frustrated reading some of these comments. We've come so far since I had my oldest child 18yrs ago (and was told to breastfeed him in a BATHROOM STALL!), so it is very disheartening to read how many people still judge nursing mothers. Like somehow it's unnatural or weird - when the majority of humans on this planet nurse into toddlerhood. This story is NOT about a healthy breastfeeding relationship between a mother and toddler...this little boy has full control of his mother's body and attention and she is incredibly codependent and scared to let him grow up. I feel bad for her because I cried when my youngest (and I knew we weren't having any more children) self-weaned at a year. But if I had forced her to keep nursing, it would have been about ME - not her.
Jessica Evans did we watch the same show?? The issue is not with the breastfeed the issue is with the reason WHY she is breastfeeding him and the dependence and attitude of her and the baby. Doing a good thing for an unhealthy reason isn’t good at all. watch the show again
kole ivy sorry for tge confusion - I'm addressing the negative comments about extended breastfeeding that have been posted. I said in my initial comment, the dynamic in the video is dysfunctional and cannot be used as a baseline for all extended breastfeeding relationships.
Jessica Evans, As far as I understand it, the 'negative' comments about extended breastfeeding are related to the dysfunctional dynamic between the mother and son, in THIS video. Your interpretation of the comments as a 'general' criticism of nursing mothers and your comments... seem to indicate that you might be habouring feelings related to your own experience, many years ago! There's no comparison between what you experienced and Toby's Mum.
Izza Duck Actually there is a thread here discussing extended nursing in general - not about the dysfunctional relationship between mom Alex and little Toby. There were quite a few people saying they find it disgusting and not appropriate. I nursed one of my children until she was almost three years old. People think that's bizarre. In fact, one of the people in that thread actually said it would be better for a mother of a toddler to PUMP her milk and stick it in a bottle 🙄. So, yeah, Jessica has plenty reason to take this as more than just opinions regarding the situation in the video because it very clearly is NOT just about that situation.
She went on the baby boys room and woke him up. The child was saying no. He was hitting at her to leave him alone. She needs to not blame the father for her behavior.
Lol no one thinks they have problems. They go there cuz the kids are 'bad' it's not until they get there they realize its themselves who are the bad ones
Oh my, what terrible editing...it's like the time when i heard both yanni and laurel when i was supposed to be hearing only one 😂. I'm surprised this got approved for airing.
That mom wants to nurse so bad and the dad doesn’t care. He’s suppose to be watching the baby and instead he is sitting around drinking wine. He is saying he is leaving if she doesn’t stop, let him go!
I literally said out loud "what are you doing!?" The mom Alex woke him up on purpose.. Then blamed the dad and her feeling engorged.. She was not uncomfortable! The father is so fed up, I don't blame him. I wonder if they are still together. Ohhhh she irritates me!
These families are the most ignorant people I have ever seen! You put the child in bed, say go to sleep, leave and close the door. You do not let them out. Put a lock on it if necessary. Our boys learned quickly when to go to sleep. And if a child is old enough to ask or it - he is way beyond time to stop nursing. All of this coddling is ridiculous. Did no one ever have experience with babies and children? Unbelievable! And the mother going back in an wakening the child - grow up! Think of your child, not yourself!
You are showing this like its SUPER WEIRD to breastfeed at 2 while actually is totally normal 🤔 i think till 3 its perfectly fine, it's a moms decision. The problem of Alex is she is not putting some rules to it like "only once before sleeping" or only during day and stuff like that
You don't want to stop breastfeeding your kid? Fine. But don't send mixed messages to everyone, including your baby. Unbelievable. If you're engorged, express a little, but discomfort is going to happen when you stop breastfeeding. It's inevitable for most women. She just doesn't want to stop.
Poor little Toby, was fast asleep and the head case of his mother had to wake him up poor little love..I don't know why she went into the house and if she keeps it up she will lose her husband... and on top of that she lied to him..
I was flabbergasted that the mom went and woke that kid up and breastfed him after not doing it all day. Unreal just completely undermined all the dad and her work because she wanted to do it not the baby. I’m mad for the husband it’s just ridiculous behavior
So Alex purposefully went into Toby's bedroom, woke him up (because sleep wasn't helping HIM) and went ahead and NURSED him (because obviously stopping the nursing is not helping HER) and ends up setting back the entire process, blaming it all on her husband. Right then. I predict they got a divorce within a year of filming this.. And of course, it was all his fault.😳🥴
Here in the states, breastfeeding is a decision between mother and child. Breastfeeding on demand, and child led self weaning is proven to be most beneficial foremost to child. It is not unnatural for a child to continue to breastfeed up to the age 6, and upwards to 8 years old. Mothers are encouraged to allow the child to breastfeed for as long as the child wants to. It is natural, basic human function that has been practiced since creation.
I have never known a 6 or 8 yr old child to breast feed in the US. With all the nutritious food, that is totally unnecessary, and frankly, very weird! That is wayyyyy too old!
Damn that temu kid lie guy terrorized that girl and had the biggest smile on his face the whole time that was scary. He hit her with the ball after grabbing it from her forcefully, then chased her around hit her again, then chased her again til she smacked her head on the slide which really hurt her but she was so scared of him she stopped or just a sec then kept running to her mom. That little girl was legit scared
Then kept saying he didn’t do anything to the little girl at all. You physically hurt her, scared her so bad she smacked her head on a slide and kept chasing her literally ti the door
Alex has to be the most flaky womam, making excuses like Tony is an idiot and doesn't know exactly what she's doing. Sneaking into the room and waking Toby up was selfish. She didn’t do it for Toby. Claiming nobody helped her deal with Toby all day was bull and very selfish. This is not an original condition Alex is experiencing. There are many ways to express milk to get comfortable but she wasn't experiencing physical discomfort. She would have made mention of it in her earlier video.
Harrison is 5 ? Why do they talk about him in front of him. He is very intelligent and listens to everything.
Tony is right, she doesn't WANT to stop breastfeeding
That is obvious right from the beginning. She is more interested in breastfeeding her son, not her baby because he is not a baby any more. I still think that it is at least partly that she doesn't want to be intimate with her partner, and it's obvious that he finds the whole thing repulsive. I really don't see them staying together much longer.
She's a nutcase
The sound mixing is consistently awful on this series. Omg.
É Caoimhe yes I replayed the very beginning part where they said " to add insult to injury he's also been diagnosed with...." then all you hear is the kid screaming. Did any one catch what it is he has cause after replaying it like 10 times I give up
Mommy on Fleek food phobia
JESUS CHRIST I AGREE WITH ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS, THE MUSIC IS HORRIBLE!!!!
we should find the name of the sound editor and tell him how awful he is
I comment this every episode and have never gotten an answer and they keep uploading them in this condition. Sound is terrible.
Toby's mom is at fault in this episode, she could have called up the father to check up on the kid, rather than going and feeding him and later coming and blaming the father that is lame.
I adore Dr. Tanya Byron. If only a clinical psychologist would appear in life when things seem overwhelming and uncertain to advise on what to do.
48:33 She knew exactly what she was doing... but to blame your husband is just wrong. I don't fault him for bring upset. And, she lied about be being so full because she didn't mention it at all. Can't she see her depence on it is ruining her relationship???
There are pumps for that purpose. Plus, she doesn't churn out record amounts like the mother of a three months old. According to that logic no mother can ever wean a kid off breastfeeding.
petrairene exactly! I think she’s incredibly selfish. Her poor husband. She’s lucky he’s still there. She woke that boy up to shove her boob in his mouth. I find that disturbing tbh.
If the mother doesn’t want to stop breastfeeding her 2-year-old, she needs help. I feel sorry for the older brother (Timu), he needs more attention from the parents, and the mother is allowing the younger brother (Toby) to take all of the parents’ attention away from Timu.
The whole situation pissd me off especially whn she blamed hubby for her waking the child up n purposely breastfeeding knowing she jus said she knew it was time to stop. im glad he shouted at her she got issues an she needs to know how fed up he is
THERE IS NT TO BE SO FULL FROM HE IS DAMN TWO Y OLD!
She’s just nuts
Did the mom deliberately wake up Toby to breastfeed him? Ridiculous...
That was bad on both of their parts.
tina andersen , I couldnt believe it! He went rigjt to sleep and Toby only woke up cause of her. I wish Tanya would replay that for her and ask her about that. Its kinda almost to the point where its gross
I am sure that she will. Sadly the next day which won't be in this video but in the next video. Sadly that video won't be airing until next Wednesday.
Tony knows her struggle with this - that's why Dr. Tanya told him to be in change of Toby all night. She snuck in the there - I know it sounds like she's a child, but they needed to make her stay out with the other parents and have Tony stay near Toby's bedroom to be the one to catch him when he wakes up.
And I nursed a toddler...you don't get uncomfortably full anymore like when they were babies. If she IS getting full, expressing a little is the way to go - not continuing to nurse him. For them, it's become a toxic relationship. It's not like that for all nursing toddlers.
Stacie M , i think that was the plan. For Tony to deal with it. Although I cant say 100% I feel like she deliberatly went in the room and woke him up and then complained about it. Hopefully they were able to get through this. I wish they did updates of the kids cause they are young adults now (if not, close to it)
Towards the Breastfeed mother: "EXCUSE ME! DONT BLAME YOUR HUSBAND WHEN IT IS YOU WITH THE PROBLEM!
DON'T BLAME HIM! BLAME YOURSELF!" 2 years(too old)
AMEN!!!...Something is wrong with that woman....youll end up without a husband...too many excuses ......ill leave thar woman if im the husband
Sara literally has me in tears. She’s really brave to go thru this,all the parents are. Dr Tanya is awesome
I absolutely adore Tanya! She is such an inspiration and perfect example of choosing the right career path! Also, that breastfeeding mother is lying to herself. I just don't understand. Once a child has teeth to eat food there is no need to breastfeed. Every mammal knows instinctively when to stop. She is holding her child back developmentally for her own selfishness then blames.dad? No wonder he wants to leave. She wants coddled like a child. Unbelievable.
At the end of the day, she wants a newborn baby again. She’s keeping him from developing without even realizing it. She’s having trouble with him growing up and thus she’s using the excuse that breast milk is healthy for toddlers as a reason to continue. She’s being selfish. Just listen to her talk about it. She uses it as an emotional crutch.
He was still a toddler. It’s so sad that she wasn’t enjoying the toddler stage with him, which is so much more fun than babyhood, because they can do so much more and communicate with you. She needed ongoing professional help in order to let go of the baby stage and embrace each stage of development with him. She did it with her older son, so it’s odd that she’s having so much trouble now.
And now that I think of it she literally is delaying him in sleep. He won’t be able to settle himself
Music is still very loud 😕🙁
Because kids sounds are Very loud !! So only Music is very very loud as kids
Sorry I'm not rude!!
Raqueal Henry kinda a late reply, but I think that the only reason these videos are uploaded is because of the bad mixing. This isn’t the final edit - hence why this video is free from copyright
That'd make sense.
I think breastfeeding is wonderful.....for babies. When the child is demanding and saying that they want the boob....thats too old. I lnow many who nurse their 3 or 4 year old children. Those kids are very clingy and demanding. Part of parenting is allowing them to grow. We can't keep our preschool age children babies.
I agree(off topic. Something is seriously wrong with my phone. I have the volume up yet I don't hear the normal clicking sound that I normally hear when I am typing and I love hearing that sound.
Ashlie...well said. All the back and forth in the comment section...but people only focus on the nutritional needs and what daddy government says is ok. They miss the real issue ... breastfeeding has a HUGE impact on the emotional, mental, biological and spiritual needs of both mother and child.
Of course, everything can have a positive/negative effect. But nothing is as visceral or long-lasting as breastfeeding.
Alex will no doubt stop breastfeeding one day. But if her own issues aren't resolved, she will find another way to keep her codependency relationships going. And just objective observation...her excessively emotional needs are still not being met. This is commonly found in people who feel the need to contribute something but don't. Which, unfortunately, has become 90% of the public. Maybe Alex needs a hobby, lol

Alex's dependency on her son is not healthy - everyone watching can see that. However, the fact that her codependent behavior is manifested in her nursing relationship with Toby does not in any way reflect upon the relationships other mothers have with they nursing toddlers. My daughter who nursed until she was almost three just needed that comfort at sleep time. It certainly did NOT hold back her development or lead to any mental health issues. She's now 15yrs old, is in all advanced high school curriculum, is the HEALTHIEST human being I've ever met (we call her the bionic woman because she never gets sick and is taller and stronger than any of her family members), and is confident and independent.
I rarely share my breastfeeding experiences with my three children because of the remarks throughout this comment section. People who think it's cute when a three year old has chocolate milk and/or pop in a bottle or still walking around with a pacifier or in diapers. Those are all man-made creations whereas breasts come as standard equipment on most females ❤️!!
Stacie...no offense... but in your haste to school me, you misread my post. Lol. It never said breastfeeding holds children back. It only stated the obvious..that breastfeeding is one of the most important connections between mother and child...beyond just the biological reasons. And like anything in this world, breastfeeding properly...or improperly...can have both positive or negative impacts.
And although your experience has had a certain outcome...congrats btw :)...it's not a blanket cause and effect fact. There are millions of beautiful, strong, happy children who were not breastfed. And there are millions of sickly, poorly adjusted kids who were.
The point of my first post...there's a lot more going on with Alex than just the breastfeeding. By using breastfeeding (a mental, physical, and spiritual connection) as her crutch, it can have a lasting impact that may not be so obvious.
But taking something away doesn't always address the underlying emotional issues one has.
TheyLive YouSleep
I agree with what everyone has said about Alex, though I feel she is being blamed for what looks very much like clinical depression.
And, yes, I did misread your post...I was up with a stomach bug and was literally so tired I felt like I was drunk lol! Reading my own reply even perplexes me...my last couple of sentences make almost no sense 😆!
If I was Tony when his wife said she'd just breastfed Toby AND blamed it on me, it would've taken all I had not to leave right then and there.
Mom Alex looks completely broken. I feel really bad for her. She would probably benefit from seeing a therapist that can help her :)
Did I hear this correctly??? Kelsey wakes herself up, dressed herself and goes out to play while mom is still sleeping?????😳🤷♀️
I have learned that breast feeding is a very personal thing and when to stop can be even more personal. I used to think if the child can walk up and lift your shirt and practically unhook your bra that should have been done and over long before. I have learned though that is not the way it is. Just because I would not be ok in the least with that doesnt mean it is wrong. However, when you are sabotaging the relationship with your husband and using your child as a pawn to do so you have a major issue! Maybe she wants out of the marriage and is using this as a means out? Maybe she feels she is being bullied into giving up feeding or maybe she feels that is the only thing she is good for.. There is more to this than we can possibly know. Hmm and she lied. It was clear in the video that she woke the child. Then she blames the husband for not hearing the kid cry because she shoved a boob in his mouth to stifle him. Does she not know she was on film?
It isn't Tobie who's addicted to breastfeeding, it's his mother. She woke him up the first time. He wanted to be left alone. When she laid him down the second time, he still wanted to be left alone. & she shouldn't be that badly engorged, she's not a full time feeder. I breastfed my youngest until 22 months. My biggest problem was him trying to fight to get under my shirt & me not allowing it. She better grow up. My son is also my last of 2. Of course the problem isn't w/her baby, it's w/her.🍼😿😿
Absolutely nothing wrong with breastfeeding a 2 year old. But feeding constantly throughout the night to the point where everyone is exhausted and demanding it whenever he wants is not a healthy breastfeeding relationship with a toddler. By then they are old
Enough to develop some manners around it to save everyone’s sanity.
right?! I'm surprised she chose to quit cold turkey instead of going to strictly daytime feeds. It's an easier transition for everyone
Taking away night time feeding first is what is needed. Nurse to sleep and that is it tell morning. Nothing wrong with nursing during the day. I don't like when the Dr. said. No nutritional value at this age. Umnm it does not expire. Lol. Always nutritional value.
@@crystalburke150 , but don't you think after a certain age, it's more an emotional thing and NOT a nutritional one. He can eat solids at 2, and doesn't survive on breast milk anymore. I mean the kid is always pulling up her shirt and it's not right. I think breadt feeding after 2 is more for emotional like a pacifier and not for nutrition. For some reason some moms want to argue that breast feeding at any age is okay because of nutrition and thats just not true. When a kid is walking up to his mom and u doing her blouse, there is something not right about it. Let's at least Dmitry that this is purely an emotional exercise, not one of nutrition.
THERE ISNT NOTHING FOR THE CHILD TO GAIN AT 2Y OLD!! Ffs
That’s so wrong, she blatantly just woke him up to feed him because she needed “cuddles”, the boy wanted to go back to sleep, he’ll be totally confused now.
I really hope we see Tanya talk to her about this
I hope so as well.
Kelsey is just a treasure. What a little sweetheart
Isn't she a darling little girl? She's so caring and sweet.
Breastfeeding is designed to feed a child as long as nutritional need exists. This enables babies to survive during famine. This mother is gratifying her own emotional needs at the expense of her husband, her elder son, and the 2-yr-old. Neurotic.
It's recommended by top pediatricians in America to breastfeed up untill 3 years of age.
but child psychologists discourage it for this very reason. It can create unhealthy relationships.
I breastfeeded my three kids up to nearly 2 years - and they are all independent and not-neurotic adults. It not important how long you breastfeed a child - it‘s important wether you let them get more and more independent as a person or not.
I agree. However, the frequency of feedings was definitely not normal. In a normal breastfeeding relationship, the number of feedings drops off with time. 8 night feedings at 2 is definitely disordered. 2 - 3 feedings in 24 hours is far more typical.
IZaubermausI if you don’t mind me asking...why? Why did you breastfeed for so long? Once children can eat what you eat and absorb all the nutrients needed, why did you continue to nurse? I’m just asking out of interest. I breastfed until mine were eating and drinking enough to meet their needs.
Why is the music so loud??? Why do you always have people talking over the narrator?? Each and every week myself and others comment about the "backgroud" music being so loud, playing over the narrator so you can not even hear what she is saying. It is just strange how they just crank up the music and voices when someone is talking so you can't hear a thing. Please fix this issue! It was so bad this episode! I love this series but this drives me bonkers.
Um, this was made around fifteen years ago. Nurture can't do anything about the sound quality.
So this is old. I thought that this was new.
Nope 2004
So like 14 years old.
Yes, like I said
Omfg I cannot believe she woke the little boy up
It's sad the Macmillan's have so much difficulty expressing love. Love should be given freely and often to you children and spouse. I don't think a day has passed that I haven't told everyone in my home that I love them.
I feel so sad for people who struggle to praise their children for good behavior. I understand we can all have rough periods, but when you are shown how to do it, and still find it difficult to say that their child is clever and good, well it makes me sad.
Does that include fathers who can't say I love you to their daughter who is 29 years old?
tina andersen yes, that still makes me sad. If you are the 29 year old, I’m sorry. You are lovable, and I am sure your dad loves you, even if he doesn’t say it.
I think that mostly it has to do with the fact that they were never praised as children themselves and so it doesn't come easily to them. They can learn how to be different than their parents were but it takes time and struggle.
I was extremely disappointed that Tanya didn’t read that woman the riot act after waking up that child and breastfeeding him for her own selfish needs. Total BS! If I were Tony I’d have left right, then and there! She lied to his face!
The mother is a breast feeding addict, totaling screwed over her son, her confusion is now splayed upon her son. Good luck with your life. Freakin express...be a mother not a waif, your husband is right. WHY WAKE THE SON, PUT ON AN ACT, DISAPPOINTING.
Kelsey fibbed! She hit her head under the wooden part of the slide and ran and said Tiimu hit her! Whoever said children are truthful!!!
the only people who think children don't lie obviously have never had kids. Kids lie all the time about the most ridiculous and inane things too.
Yea I don't think anyone says kids are truthful... like ever.
He threw the ball at her head. So she really wasn't lying. She did hit her head as she was trying to get away from him.
She hit her head but Timu was chasing her and had already hit her in the head with the ball so she mistakenly thought it was him.
All children lie, even the well behaved sweet ones. This is just an example on how easily the lie is spoken. Parents who claim their children never lie have their heads in the clouds.
Pitt momma isn’t letting the process happen... time to cut the cord.
It looked like if Harrisons mother forced him to behave bad in the supermarket. Instead of encouraging him to help her she was only correcting him!
omg timu and toby are soooo cute they make my heart just melt such beautiful children despite their behaviours
I don't think they're cute at all.
Kelsey’s mum isn’t “quite young” at 28! 28 is full grown adult! My mom had two kids by 28. Come onl
Breast feeding is fine! The relationship it is causing in this family is not fine.
Wow what a nasty needy selfish woman the breast feeding mother is. She is waaaaay high maintenance seeking to be the center of attention “my child needs me etc” I would not be able to deal with her at all. She has a big case of narcissism.
You introduce a new spin on her motivation, interesting
The little girl is way to smart and cute.
Can you imagine breastfeeding a child up to age three when the child has all of its first set of teeth?
!!! ( ☼ ) ( ☼ ) !!!
BTW Those are eyes. Get your mind out of the proverbial gutter!
Yes because I was breast fed that long. Nothing wrong with it and it's acctualy recommended
I was curious how my post would appear. Thanks for posting to me. My father was breastfed until he started school at five years old. It retrospect, the stories I have heard others speak of and my own experience with my daughter have clouded my views. Again, thanks for the reply. I hope I didn't offend you.
@@cmmc3400 i took offense just cause I have a 11 month old and he still gets breast milk ( he never could latch on) however do understand your point, breast feeding to the point where they are in school is fully unseasciary and can cause dependency issues. It's kinda a case by case basis and something that should be talked more about . Also thanks for being so nice, you don't see that much on the internet :)
Michelle W yikes that is giving me game of thrones flash backs
@@nerd4ever1000 *unnecessary. I thought nerds were smart.
The sound is dreadful. It's really difficult to hear the voice when the music is playing so loudly in the foreground.
I love art. Art is my passion. As well as reading and writing. What a great please to take a child and I really do mean this for art can help with stress. Art can help with creativity.
TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!
just a nana Don't you tell me to say please you cheeky cow!
That little Kelsey is precious.
Are you kidding???
When Alex doesn't even have Toby in her arms she's full of anxiety, she paces or slinks around in the background. Her arms are mostly folded in front of her. That's a sign of anxiety. It's like all she can think of is "when do I get to hold Toby or how can I sneak some time alone with Toby? " It's like she's addicted to Toby on her breasts. He doesn't need her, she needs him. It's psychological. Breasts are sexual, they have many nerves in them (please don't take this the wrong way.) Her husband is not picking up on her anxiety because he's so angry. Go forward. Don't look back. They need to work together. If she starts to feel anxious, then go over and put your head on your husband's shoulder or just sit next to him and hold his hand. The same goes for him. Don't let her become so anxious. He could go over and put his arm around her or give her a hug or take her hand and go sit on the couch together. Toby is not her husband/lover he's her child and I think that's what's bothering me. She's an adult and a mother but with her the boundaries are blurred between who's her child and who's her husband. This is what is so confusing and unhealthy for the child. It's not about giving him milk, it's all about her needs.
I completely agree with this. You basically said everything that I was thinking.
Very well said
Why is Harrison's mom being blamed for everything? They've been ganging up on her the entire time.
because her attitude is the problem. he sensed that resentment.
They dragged this show over so many episodes by repeating the same takes again and again?
We could have had a conclusion after two episodes.
Weird. It's like every other show.
I think breastfeeding is an amazing thing to do. I tried with mine but unfortunately wasn’t able and I was very disappointed. On the other hand if your child is on adult food, walk and talking and your child is grabbing at your breast and sticking their hand up your shirt practically mauling you for lack of a better word it’s too much and frankly weird. Not In a sexual way of course but it feels wrong to me. Your no longer doing it for nutrition and you can bond with your child in a meaningful way without them constantly grabbing at you like your a milk machine or a human pacifier. Kids that age need to learn to soothe themselves without doing that.
It was odd that Timu was smiling while hurting Kirsty. Then lied about it. That's a red flag.
He is lacking parenting because Mom wants to lie around and breastfeed day and night and dad is resenting it and planning his getaway.
Yh I also feel she deliberately woke him up would have been fine if she didn't go in. She could pump to feel comfortable. Could cuddle her husband for comfort. But yes I can also understand how she feels x
This is fascinating but too many recaps and the music is stressing me out! 😳🤷🏻♀️
I think Toby’s mother is very lucky that she still has her husband around. She’s incredibly selfish.
Edit...oh wow. She’s blatantly lying about her boobs being engorged. We’ve all been through that, you let them eventually go back to normal. She’s blaming her husband for what SHE did! She’s actually very pathetic.
girl PUMP em . u don’t have to feed
And after pumping, if you find it nutritious important, you can even give it in a sippie cup
Omg he is two!! Get a grip woman 🤣
Everyone is complaining about the breastfeeding, I have an issue with, beginning at 13:00 the exchange between Timue and Kelsey. He took the ball, hit her with it, was chasing her with it. Yes she did hit her head on the wood while running from him but he did hit her! Then at 14:30 her mother calls her a liar. Poor kid is a victim 2 x's, no wonder she does not trust her mother.....
omg hes telling her NO and shes still doing it. i think mom has issues
For kids that I have seen with pacifier hooked to their mouth 24/7 and here v have a 2 yr old who I guess does not even know wat a bottle is
The thumping music is so loud I can’t hear what’s being said. I just finally turned it off. It’s the same with all the episodes. I miss half of the content.
Oh my gosh! Toby freakin says "boob"! What in the world!!!!!! I can't with these parents.
They feel bad disciplining their bad kids. So diff - it is the parents a lot of time but some of these kids behaviors are SO unacceptable !!!!
I was thinking the same thing, he’s at the age where he can talk like that and is saying boob and constantly grabbing it, it’s kind of unsettling
14:02 she’s a liar he didn’t hit her she hit her head on the play equipment!
She’s going to ask “daddy” to come and talk to you. Excuse me? You’re a parent too you can’t always put the discipline on your husband.
ringoinah I wonder if this mother is on crack
this show would be enjoyable, informative and educational if only we didn't have to listen to the consistent regurgitation of the families/children and their problems.........so annoying.
Catherine Crossland omg I agree with u so much it's so annoying
I just skip through them…. Though it hasn’t prevented that damn instrumental being chiselled into my skull….
she is a four year old.Let her be four and not fourteen.
oh my gosh mom alex is the problem. she went in to wake him up.....
Let’s get something straight: breastfeeding at 2yrs is NOT the problem. How the family is handling it IS. The child is allowed to throw tantrums, and no sleep training has been implemented. Food should be offered far more often and nursing offered less, because toddlers need more food than milk. Dad has NO business demanding mom wean.Instead he should be focusing on helping this child cope with his emotions and work on good eating habits. Mom is hiding behind nursing to hide her lack of discipline and sleep training.
Worldwide nursing toddlers is common and encouraged but the tantrums are not normal. The parents have allowed them to take over and what should be a normal weaning process, is failing.
And no, the child behavioral specialist is not qualified to say anything about appropriate ages for weaning a child. A lactation specialist , a pediatrician and a mom, are qualified to say when to wean.
She is qualified to have input on how the family is handling training, and discipline. They do have issues, and are using breastfeeding as an excuse
There is NOTHING wrong with a healthy extended breastfeeding relationship between mother and child. That is NOT what is happening with the toddler and his mother in this video. To shame breastfeeding mothers based on the dysfunctional dynamic shown here is ignorant. The world health organisation guidelines for breastfeeding, recommends breastfeeding for 2 years and beyond.
A child drinking their own mother's milk is not strange. It's bizarre that people get so upset about a 2 year old dribking milk from his own mother, but are likely adults who drink milk from another mammal. Now THAT is weird.
Jessica Evans
Thank you thank you thank you. I'm getting so frustrated reading some of these comments. We've come so far since I had my oldest child 18yrs ago (and was told to breastfeed him in a BATHROOM STALL!), so it is very disheartening to read how many people still judge nursing mothers. Like somehow it's unnatural or weird - when the majority of humans on this planet nurse into toddlerhood. This story is NOT about a healthy breastfeeding relationship between a mother and toddler...this little boy has full control of his mother's body and attention and she is incredibly codependent and scared to let him grow up. I feel bad for her because I cried when my youngest (and I knew we weren't having any more children) self-weaned at a year. But if I had forced her to keep nursing, it would have been about ME - not her.
Jessica Evans did we watch the same show?? The issue is not with the breastfeed the issue is with the reason WHY she is breastfeeding him and the dependence and attitude of her and the baby. Doing a good thing for an unhealthy reason isn’t good at all. watch the show again
kole ivy sorry for tge confusion - I'm addressing the negative comments about extended breastfeeding that have been posted. I said in my initial comment, the dynamic in the video is dysfunctional and cannot be used as a baseline for all extended breastfeeding relationships.
Jessica Evans, As far as I understand it, the 'negative' comments about extended breastfeeding are related to the dysfunctional dynamic between the mother and son, in THIS video. Your interpretation of the comments as a 'general' criticism of nursing mothers and your comments... seem to indicate that you might be habouring feelings related to your own experience, many years ago! There's no comparison between what you experienced and Toby's Mum.
Izza Duck
Actually there is a thread here discussing extended nursing in general - not about the dysfunctional relationship between mom Alex and little Toby. There were quite a few people saying they find it disgusting and not appropriate. I nursed one of my children until she was almost three years old. People think that's bizarre. In fact, one of the people in that thread actually said it would be better for a mother of a toddler to PUMP her milk and stick it in a bottle 🙄. So, yeah, Jessica has plenty reason to take this as more than just opinions regarding the situation in the video because it very clearly is NOT just about that situation.
She went on the baby boys room and woke him up. The child was saying no. He was hitting at her to leave him alone. She needs to not blame the father for her behavior.
Why did these damaged insecure people have kids? Glad they getting help.God help these kids!!
Of course there is a lesson. How does a 4 year old know what the word cross means? Impressive.
My goodness, can't these people do the therapy work BEFORE they have kids?????????
Lol no one thinks they have problems. They go there cuz the kids are 'bad' it's not until they get there they realize its themselves who are the bad ones
I think chocolate during the day might keep a child up at night,
Oh my, what terrible editing...it's like the time when i heard both yanni and laurel when i was supposed to be hearing only one 😂. I'm surprised this got approved for airing.
That was just a phase.
I give her props for writing that and reading that but she has to realize that her baby isn't a baby anymore.
That mom wants to nurse so bad and the dad doesn’t care. He’s suppose to be watching the baby and instead he is sitting around drinking wine. He is saying he is leaving if she doesn’t stop, let him go!
I literally said out loud "what are you doing!?" The mom Alex woke him up on purpose.. Then blamed the dad and her feeling engorged.. She was not uncomfortable! The father is so fed up, I don't blame him. I wonder if they are still together. Ohhhh she irritates me!
You don't shout at your kids
Tanya pulls no bunches. She is spot in.
That role reversal is me and my dad 🙈🙈🙈🙈
These families are the most ignorant people I have ever seen! You put the child in bed, say go to sleep, leave and close the door. You do not let them out. Put a lock on it if necessary. Our boys learned quickly when to go to sleep. And if a child is old enough to ask or it - he is way beyond time to stop nursing. All of this coddling is ridiculous. Did no one ever have experience with babies and children? Unbelievable! And the mother going back in an wakening the child - grow up! Think of your child, not yourself!
You are showing this like its SUPER WEIRD to breastfeed at 2 while actually is totally normal 🤔 i think till 3 its perfectly fine, it's a moms decision. The problem of Alex is she is not putting some rules to it like "only once before sleeping" or only during day and stuff like that
You don't want to stop breastfeeding your kid? Fine. But don't send mixed messages to everyone, including your baby. Unbelievable. If you're engorged, express a little, but discomfort is going to happen when you stop breastfeeding. It's inevitable for most women. She just doesn't want to stop.
Her son was a sleeping and she woke him up why did she do it
Poor little Toby, was fast asleep and the head case of his mother had to wake him up poor little love..I don't know why she went into the house and if she keeps it up she will lose her husband... and on top of that she lied to him..
THE SOUND MIXING IS SO BAD, FEELS LIKE PEOPLE SCREAMING IN MY HEAD :D
Bad parenting. Where are the parents when the two children are outside? Bad parenting again. Ignoring it.
Any questions... I am the 40ish product of that kind of single mother not treating their child as a child. 🙅🏻♀️
I was flabbergasted that the mom went and woke that kid up and breastfed him after not doing it all day. Unreal just completely undermined all the dad and her work because she wanted to do it not the baby. I’m mad for the husband it’s just ridiculous behavior
Cut off the lousy music when speaking. I can't hear the words.
Thumbs down for a weak mother who always has excuses.
I can't watch this. This is parenting 101 and they are too stupid to get it right. Unbelievable.
Do you know how difficult it is to raise a child, or are you just commenting that to seem smart?
@@nxgan1088 If you think it's difficult to wean a two year old off the boob, you're doing it wrong.
Harrison is adorable
The video's would be much more enjoyable if the loud music didn't overtake people talking.
Feel bad for Tony…. He wants to change so bad but his woman constantly wakes up Toby because SHE wants him to be a baby forever
IS SHE FEEDING HIM??
Well, I'm fast forwarding through the rest of HER segments.
She deliberately went in to that baby's room and woke him up now she's made excuses about breast feeding pathetic
Toby is the cutest little baby ever omgggg
breastfeeding two-year-old father is close to leaving
Harrison is 5..he acts like a 2/3 year old. Wow..id be so annoyed if my child was that far behind.
They are be
babying Harrisin. His Mum is really unwell mentally.
What a liar, this woman is unreal.
Tobys mom has severe issues
So Alex purposefully went into Toby's bedroom, woke him up (because sleep wasn't helping HIM) and went ahead and NURSED him (because obviously stopping the nursing is not helping HER) and ends up setting back the entire process, blaming it all on her husband. Right then.
I predict they got a divorce within a year of filming this..
And of course, it was all his fault.😳🥴
Here in the states, breastfeeding is a decision between mother and child. Breastfeeding on demand, and child led self weaning is proven to be most beneficial foremost to child. It is not unnatural for a child to continue to breastfeed up to the age 6, and upwards to 8 years old. Mothers are encouraged to allow the child to breastfeed for as long as the child wants to. It is natural, basic human function that has been practiced since creation.
I have never known a 6 or 8 yr old child to breast feed in the US. With all the nutritious food, that is totally unnecessary, and
frankly, very weird! That is wayyyyy too old!
Damn that temu kid lie guy terrorized that girl and had the biggest smile on his face the whole time that was scary. He hit her with the ball after grabbing it from her forcefully, then chased her around hit her again, then chased her again til she smacked her head on the slide which really hurt her but she was so scared of him she stopped or just a sec then kept running to her mom. That little girl was legit scared
Then kept saying he didn’t do anything to the little girl at all. You physically hurt her, scared her so bad she smacked her head on a slide and kept chasing her literally ti the door
I agree. This is how the family dynamic has affected hi .
It really isn’t that surprising that he did that, is it?
Alex has to be the most flaky womam, making excuses like Tony is an idiot and doesn't know exactly what she's doing. Sneaking into the room and waking Toby up was selfish. She didn’t do it for Toby. Claiming nobody helped her deal with Toby all day was bull and very selfish. This is not an original condition Alex is experiencing. There are many ways to express milk to get comfortable but she wasn't experiencing physical discomfort. She would have made mention of it in her earlier video.
