I nursed my daughter until age 4! Nothing gross about it! My family and friend's kept telling me shes too old, i didnt listen to any negativity. Do what's good for you and your child. Ignore the haters!
My little brother sadly had to be bottle fed and basically never nursed. (Of course it was breast milk, though. Pumped milk.) He had tongue tie and lip tie, but he’s way better now.
That squirt at the end cracked me up! People who don’t understand breast feeding are the most vocal unfortunately. It’s liquid gold and it’s giving her so many antibodies and she needs that with a compromised immune system. When I was nursing my daughter, if my glucose was high I would nurse her and it would drop it down immediately. And breast milk tastes like the milk left over in the bottom in the cereal bowl.
While I agree that nursing is a choice, and how long to nurse is between the child and the person nursing only, I have to disagree that nursing offers the benefits that you claim. The science on this does not back you up. Terms like “liquid gold,” tend to sound judgmental to people who cannot, or choose not to nurse their children. Formula is absolutely equitable to breastmilk. That is what the science shows to be true. And I say this, as a mother who fed their child from their breast, pumped and fed from a bottle, and formula fed her children.
I never knew that maybe I should make a baby but umm wait a minute I'm 17 on birth control wear condoms and practice now me oh wait no GOD wants us married first he appreciates it then he gives us a loving baby even if it dies my friends baby died at 7 weeks stopped breathing and she was life flight certified her husband was emt ems and firefighter certified he did all if them at once some was for first emergency help we low pay ambulance staff or help we low on firefighter staff.
I'll bet that person isn't a parent. I'm a teenager and how you parent your kid is none of my business! If your loving and caring for them, that's all that matters! So if your child is breastfeeding as a toddler so be it! ❤
oh, I absolutely would continue breastfeeding her! Anything, and I mean ANYTHING that will help her autoimmune system, go for it. so many people do NOT understand that Type I is a completely, totally different disease than Type II. I nurseries my son as long as I could, which was only 5 months because he was so hungry, and I simply didn't have enough milk ever so had to supplement with formula and then he started on cereal when he was two months old! He was diagnosed with Type I when he was 27 years old and is now 40. Not a day goes by that I don't worry about how he is doing. He's using the same system as you use for Addie, and he's doing so much better. I would be giving Chi Chi to Addie whenever she wants it. This issue with breastfeeding is ONLY in the U.S. and it's beyond ridiculous. God bless y'all.
I nursed until my child self weaned at 3. It is NORMAL and HEALTHY for humans to breastfeed into toddlerhood. Good for you mama! Also- the squirt at the end had me 😂😂
I breastfed my son past his 4th birthday. I had to ween as the doctor changed my meds. I am grateful for every day and will fiercely defend any mom choosing to breastfeed past the baby months
It actually makes me so happy that you have that comfort for her with all she goes through for diabetes. Also...it's your family. You do what's right for your flow. ❤️❤️❤️
The fact that a woman’s body can keep producing milk 2-4 years after giving birth is so incredible. Like as long as your nursing/pumping your body will continue to lactate. Absolutely amazing
I haven't breastfed in about a year but I can still squeeze and milk comes out. I could start back up and still produce plenty of milk. It's amazing what our bodies can do.
From what I've heard breast milk tastes way sweeter and better than cow's milk, so it's understandable that she likes it so much. And she needs all the comfort she can get.
I just stopped nursing my almost 3 year old. I firmly think people need to mind their business. Idk why it’s soooooo encouraged up until a year then all of a sudden people shame you for BF after 1 year. It’s good for them, provides them with antibodies, and it’s comforting. Keep going if you want to!! You’re doing ahhhhmazing!
My daughter nursed until she was 3. Mom don’t stop breastfeeding that baby until u get ready,people always trying to tell someone what to do and they don’t know shit. Keep u n ur baby happy.❤😊
It's OK to breastfeed as long as her sugar is OK and it's comforting to her I've seen people breastfeed to 4 years old and I have also worked with developmentally disabled people whose mothers nursed them till like 11 or 12 years old I couldn't deal with it but when it isn't your kid you have to agree to disagree ignore the nasty comments you are a great mother
I was in an University breast milk study and had to pump daily, but they only wanted a weekly sample. My friend who got me into the study asked if she could have my extra milk for her toddler. She told me he asked for “candy milk”. I nursed for 2 1/2 years. Loved it.
As a nurse I know people that donate their extra milk for babies of Mothers that can't produce. Parents should breastfed as long as they want. I agree folks should mind their own business
She’s so adorable 🥰. Breastfeeding is not gross. You should be able to breastfeed Addie until she has decided she’s had enough. Enjoy these bonding moments with your child.Much love and respect to you 😊
You should be able to breast feed your daughter. She is a diabetic and if it comforts her and if it doesn't interfere with her sugar levels I say do it.. I could see if she was 4 or 5 then I could see why people say mean things. I Breastfeed my twins until they were 1 year old I wish I could of done it alittle longer but I couldn't get anything done and they had a brother that is 2 years older and I would bring him back and forth to speech therapy and I just couldn't keep up with the demand...lol plus the pediatrician told me to put them on whole milk.
I said the exact same thing I was like by 4 in my opinion they shouldn't be getting breastfed because they will literally be being very independent by the age of 5 when they start school but because she is diabetic she needs the good stuff breast milk gives and she's still little and the mom said it's at bed time and if she needs to be comforted then it doesn't sound like she is doing it that often so people should leave her alone
You literally said don't listen to others but then you see why if they get to a certain age. They will self wean and loose ability to suck. Worldwide its between ages of 4-6. USA is only place where it's not normalized.
It's not gross. We started slow weaning at 2. We did bedtime and occasionally naps. Then bedtime only around 2 1/2. She then stopped on her own just before 3. You are doing Great mom!❤
It is absolutely normal to nurse a toddler, it boosts immunity and is very comforting, especially for Addie because TD1 is difficult and even painful. She eats food normally for her age, there is no concern about chi-chi replacing foods. Addie will wean when she is ready, please ignore people who don’t understand.
My oldest daughter nursed for like 2.5 years, my middle child I pumped for 10 months ( she wasn't about the breastfeeding 😂) and my youngest son breastfed for 3.5 years ... every kid is different ❤
Normally I would think by the time the child is eating from the table it would be time to wean her BUT she has a special situation and that's between you and her I'm type 2 but I can imagine she gets special nutrients that she can't get any other place. Do what works for y'all. ❤
@@AL-cg4vb she is a diabetic, so she is not the same as every other child , she probably can't eat the same as every other child , so please stop parent shaming and worry about your own life .
@@AL-cg4vb you are correct they do all deserve to be fed but some people (children especially) certain dietetic needs. I assume by the way you contribute that your children are 100% healthy with no special needs, Congratulations on being super parent or maybe you are speaking from the sidelines with no children just an expert on such matters. Otherwise troll somewhere else. Oh and, have a nice day. 🙏😊
@barbarabryant4085 are you confused???? Never said I was a super parent pr even a parent, never said there was anything wrong with this. I'm pointing out the fact this original poster would shame a parent for breastfeeding children that don't have diabetes. ALL children deserve access to breastfeeding if they have a willing and able parent. Please learn to read 🤦🤦🤦🤦
I love that you still nurse ❤️ my daughter will be 3 this month and I had to stop nursing 5 months ago because everyone’s comments were really starting to get to me and it just got really over whelming. The most annoying one was “you’re doing it more for yourself than for your daughter and she’s not a baby she doesn’t need it anymore” 🙄 I hate people who give unsolicited mean opinions
Don't stop breastfeeding get started on breastfeeding until u can't if u can still breastfeed don't give up its more healthy than the formula is its not nasty its actually good your baby saying mommy I want something else.
My friend was encouraged to breastfeed her daughter until 5 years old. Another was encouraged to stop at 2 years old. Every child is different, every doctor is different, and it’s absolutely the mother’s choice whether she wants to continue to breastfeed or not.
Forget what the world says my I fed my son for almost 2.5 yrs and stopped when I conceived my second child so love and enjoy a happy life lots of cuddles and prayers for our bravo Addie
As long as you’re happy and Addie is happy I shouldn’t worry about other peoples opinions. I applaud you as I wish I’d done my breastfeeding for longer.
If she can say she wants it and knows how to talk she shouldn't have it it's disgusting 🤮 I am a mom and I find it wrong like she is too old 😂 she should be drinking regular milk like she can learn to calm down like a every other toddler your chi chi ain't going to be there forever how is she going to learn ?
@@golden_fork2775 As an early childhood educator I specialised under 3yrs and their families. Given the age range, I’ve seen almost the full spectrum on this topic of b00b v’s bottle. From both sides of the fence. Some ppl believe that extended breast feeding may cut off behaviours that allow for development. Example; long term breast feeding means a child has less opportunities to learn holding weight in a cup, bringing it to their mouth, what’s up and what’s down etc. There are pro’s and con’s for every option. But I’ve heard teachers and parents say “it’s disgusting to hold a child back from development” Could tell u were genuinely curious.
I love how she dove for it like "Mommy don't waste it!!" Lol. For any kid it's 100% okay to have chi chi for this long. ESPECIALLY a baby with medical issues because they have to have that extra comfort. Y'all have enough shit to deal with. Breast milk is usually sooo much healthier too.
This little girl has to go through so much at such a young age if it gives her comfort and calms her after having to go through a change of equipment i say comfort her I am sure she won't be breastfeeding in highschool so whatever works best for the two of you.
I regretted weaning my first some at 23 months so right before he turned 2 and now I have a 2.5 year old and he is still nursing and I hate the judgement like it’s stressful enough without judgement but you’re doing a great job momma
You're doing what's best for you and your child. Tell whomever is in your business to mind their own! Don't listen to them and don't let those ass hats get to you. Your doing what's best for you both. Rock on Mama!
Breast milk IS best, especially in stressful situations!!! Stress lowers your immunity and breast milk can help replace that lost immunity!!! Type 1 diabetes is definitely a stressful situation!!! So hush all you naysayers and let mom do what she knows is best for Addie!!!
It’s more normal/natural than a binky at that age. And soothes much better. I wasn’t able to Brest feed my boy and I wish I could have. You do what is best for YOUR family!!! 🫶
People, just STOP with your narrow minded criticisms! We are 7 billion people on this planet and that equates to a hell of a lot of different ways to do things. Differences are great so be respectful about how others approach things and if you don't agree with it, keep your opinion to yourself, noone is interested!!! You go mamma, you have one gorgeous fierce little human there ❤️
A mother can breastfeed as long as her and her child can do so. Y’all quit being so hateful to women!! Love all mothers that can actually mother a child instead of hating on them.
My daughter and ‘forgot’ to stop 😂 I asked her, one day, what her answer would be if someone asked why she still had ‘feedies’ at 3… she said “it makes me feel happy”… Is there any better reason than that to keep feeding your child?? ❤ (We ‘forgot’ until she was nearly 5!! I never thought we’d go that long TBH.)
Do what is best for your little girl chi chi is good for her. Don’t let other people tell you or make you feel bad because your are her mom who knows what’s best for you and her!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Don't let anyone tell you it's GROSS. I breastfed 2 of my 4 kids for 3½ years. They are the ones that not got sick like my other 2 that I just breastfed for 3 months. So you GO GIRL💪💪💪
It is absolutely no one's business but you and your daughter to determine when to stop breastfeeding. Ignore those who negatively insert themselves into your business. You are doing very well taking care of her.
My daughter (2yo) was watching this over my shoulder and answered your question “what does it taste like?” (She said “good!!” 🤣) Keep goin’ Mama! She’s yours and yours alone!! 🤱🏻
Ignore comments like this. You know your daughter best and are still doing a wonderful job keeping her healthy and well ❤❤❤❤ To TikTok person who said breast feeding is gross! You need a lesson in basic anatomy! It’s not gross. It’s human nature. Grow up!
Worldwide average age to wean is 7. I long-term nursed my son. He is 29, and I credit it partially for our close relationship. He was also not sick until he was in high school (we had obviously stopped nursing by then...) We also did co-sleeping. You do what is right for you! 💛 You are doing an awesome job with her!. If it helps soothe her at this age in dealing with her diabetes, go for it. Toddlers can be "stressful" enough. Having to deal with finger sticks, pod changes and sensor changes adds so much more. Any help is a blessing.
@@ynotquilt367 I know I was messing g with u who can ever last until middle school drinking baby milk I mean if there homeless and the mom still available to milk then good but if not poor them
She’s very logical. I believe breastfeeding is an individual desire. No more should tell you when to stop….. if it helps her to relax and be peaceful, then do it…. 😍
OMGOSH People MAKE me So Angry over A MOTHER FEEDING HER CHILD! IT IS NOT A SEXUAL THING! Kid's that are 5 Year's Old Going to School, Maybe NOT From The Breast, Pump & Give It to them in a Cup. It Is NOT Wrong! People Think They Can Force What They Think on to Other's when it is NOT THEIR PLACE! DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU & YOUR CHILD. If They DON'T like it, DON'T WATCH!! Why Does a Mother's Body Produce Milk, TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN! Breastfeeding Is Way BETTER then Formula! Formula is An Option When Mother's Milk Doesn't Come in or Doesn't Have Enough. I Tried but Mine Didn't Come In. My Kids Were Allergic & Had to Have Soy. I felt Bad I couldn't Provide For Them. DON'T Let ANYONE STOP You from FEEDING Her! ❤ You are Doing a Great Job!!
You keep it going as long as you want. I wish I could have fed my babies for just a year. I only got to feed mine for 4 months. People need to mind their own business and maybe if they did a little research they would see how beneficial it is for the little ones to be breast fed for as long as possible. Don’t let others make up your mind and or feel ashamed to feed your baby all that golden precious milk. Girl if you can supply it, go for it.
I get so tired of people smh . Let this lady raise her daughter however she wants . It just irritates my spirit when people act like they know what’s best for someone else . Worry about yourself and what you give your kids!!
I believe it's the decision of the mother and her daughter when they stop breastfeeding, not people on the internet, its none of their business. Period!
No one’s business. My two oldest weaned on their third birthday, youngest at two due a kidney problem with me. My doctor was highly supportive of my decision. Other people need to mind their own business. It’s the healthiest nutrition on the planet for a young child.
If it was my child, I would also think she is too old for breastfeeding, but she’s not my child. Therefore, it’s none of my business or anyone else’s. 🫶 You are the Mom and you should do what you feel is right for your child. 😊
I nursed my older daughter until I was pregnant with the next one. I told her that I had a new baby in my tummy who needed the milk. She said "Oh, OK" and got off my lap
You can’t send them to school with boob milk to have at snack time while the others have cartons surely the kids will not understand why 😮I just think it’s a bit weird when they’ve got teeth and eat solids and talk but still breastfeeding 🫣
I agree 100% . People are also missing a big point on here as well. The child stated she wanted Chi-Chi when she was sad. She better start learning other self soothing habits as well. She is old enough now .She is going on 4. This will be very important for school time when it comes time.
Don’t listen to those comments. Those people are uneducated when it comes to nursing. You do what’s best for your child and you. Especially in a situation where the child is dealing with a situation that most people never have to and it comforts her. You do you!
You know normally I would agree But this little girl is Warrior and a trooper and she can have whatever she wants with what she has to go through And it sounds like you've already cut back It's not an all day everyday thing it's a night thing
American Academy of Pediatrics says the following 3 things: 1. They recommend breastfeeding for up to 6-12 months. 2. Breastfeeding beyond 1 year can cause a lisp 3. Breastfeeding does enhance speech development however breastfeeding for to long can in fact stunt a child’s development So these are just the facts everyone can decide what they think is right for their child. I think all kids are probably different ❤
😂 😂 😂 they say to 2 years or beyond! I'm a lactation consultant. Everything you said is a lie. Wow! No child has a lisp from breastfeeding or had stunted development. No studies have ever been done to say that. National average age to self wean is 4-6 years where the child looses ability to pull the milk out. I've known yes child to self wean before age 3 without mom helping.
My son weaned himself from breastfeeding after he turned 1. If he wanted to breastfeed longer I would have for as long as he wanted! It's nobody business how much longer she wants chi chi!
First breast milk is proven to be better for t1d a friends baby was diagnosed at 5 months and hes 2 now and still gets breast fed and 2nd it is NOT gross it is natural and nutritious 3rd it is clearly a comfort to the baby 4th sadly I lost my son but if he were here I was gonna breast feed until he started biting 3 was my cut off age but thats personal preference and number 5 mind your business people shes doing whats best for HER baby
My mom breast feeded me for almost 6 years!!! Yeah i know that's a lot but my brave mumma didn't listen to anyone when they said that she shouldn't breastfeed me and it's gross... But she kept feeding me for 6 years and after that she gave birth to my sister
My step mom is Thai and she was very surprised to see my son eating solids as a baby. They nurse their children in Thailand until 4 or 5 years old according to my dad and they don’t really introduce much solid food early on. Breastfeeding is completely natural and is super healthy. Nursed my first born until 13 months and hoping to make it to 16 with our second.
I breastfed my sons up until they were two. Because we have allergies in the family the pediatrician told us this was the minimum time they needed to build up their immune system. Also: gross??? What is the matter with people? It is natural, the best pain med in the world, calms an upset stomach, is always fresh and at hand. A hundred times better than powder stirred into tapwater (ugh). People live in an oversexualized world, see breasts in ads and films all the time. But when it comes to the natural function of these breasts, they are grossed out. Men who always wanted these for themselves did a very good job in turning these things upside down.
Keep her on chi chi for as long as you and her can it's the BEST thing for them!! The best and dont let ANY comment make you feel bad or that its wrong!! ❤❤
I love that you are still forming that bond with her while giving her the immune supporting antibodies that her little body needs i unfortunately was unable to breast feed either of mine and feel like i really missed out. You do what is good for you and your precious daughter and dont worry about what people say you are a wonderful mom!
Breast milk is probably the best thing you can give your child. It boosts their immune system and provides more nutrients than anything else they could eat. It’s the most natural thing a child can do, how is that gross? I’m pretty sure the person who wrote this comment doesn’t have the slightest clue about babies or how to raise them.
Please don't let anyone tell you to stop breastfeeding her, that is the best possible thing you could be giving her right now especially since she has type1diabetes most amish mothers breastfeed until 2 to 4 years old and they don't have half the health problems as other people do and I know this for a fact since I was born and raised amish!
The age at which Addie decides to stop breast-feeding is nobody’s business except for Addie and her mother’s. Literally nobody else’s. Period.
She could nurse until she is 5 if she likes. It’s nobody’s business, except for Addie’s.
Perfectly said! Period ❣️
ya if people don't have room to talk they need to mind there own business
My son nursed until he was almost 2. He pediatrician said it was fine for longer if we needed. Ignore the folks that don’t know.
It is a wonderful thing to be able to provide milk for our children. It is what she needs to keep her healthy. You are doing a wonderful job!

@@AL-cg4vb you are correct they do all deserve to be fed but some people (children especially) certain dietetic needs. I assume by the way you contribute that your children are 100% healthy with no special needs, Congratulations on being super parent or maybe you are speaking from the sidelines with no children just an expert on such matters. Otherwise troll somewhere else. Oh and, have a nice day. 🙏😊
@barbarabryant4085 are you confused????
Never said I was a super parent pr even a parent, never said there was anything wrong with this. I'm pointing out the fact this original poster would shame a parent for breastfeeding children that don't have diabetes. ALL children deserve access to breastfeeding if they have a willing and able parent.
Please learn to read 🤦🤦🤦🤦
@@kabrieyljoseph1947 you realllllllyyyyyy miss the point on this one. Learn to read 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
I love that you still nurse ❤️ my daughter will be 3 this month and I had to stop nursing 5 months ago because everyone’s comments were really starting to get to me and it just got really over whelming. The most annoying one was “you’re doing it more for yourself than for your daughter and she’s not a baby she doesn’t need it anymore” 🙄 I hate people who give unsolicited mean opinions
Don't stop breastfeeding get started on breastfeeding until u can't if u can still breastfeed don't give up its more healthy than the formula is its not nasty its actually good your baby saying mommy I want something else.
My friend was encouraged to breastfeed her daughter until 5 years old. Another was encouraged to stop at 2 years old. Every child is different, every doctor is different, and it’s absolutely the mother’s choice whether she wants to continue to breastfeed or not.
don't worry mama.
if it personally works for y'all that's all that matters.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP SEXUALIZING BABIES AND THEIR FOOD SOURCE
Wholeheartedly agree 👍 it's the most natural thing a woman does.
Forget what the world says my I fed my son for almost 2.5 yrs and stopped when I conceived my second child so love and enjoy a happy life lots of cuddles and prayers for our bravo Addie
As long as you’re happy and Addie is happy I shouldn’t worry about other peoples opinions. I applaud you as I wish I’d done my breastfeeding for longer.
She pouncing on the chi chi at last is the cutest ❤❤❤❤
If she can say she wants it and knows how to talk she shouldn't have it it's disgusting 🤮 I am a mom and I find it wrong like she is too old 😂 she should be drinking regular milk like she can learn to calm down like a every other toddler your chi chi ain't going to be there forever how is she going to learn ?
I'm curious. Really, genuinely curious - why do you say it's "disgusting"?
@@golden_fork2775 the way she squirts it and the whole situation
@@golden_fork2775 As an early childhood educator I specialised under 3yrs and their families. Given the age range, I’ve seen almost the full spectrum on this topic of b00b v’s bottle. From both sides of the fence. Some ppl believe that extended breast feeding may cut off behaviours that allow for development. Example; long term breast feeding means a child has less opportunities to learn holding weight in a cup, bringing it to their mouth, what’s up and what’s down etc. There are pro’s and con’s for every option. But I’ve heard teachers and parents say “it’s disgusting to hold a child back from development” Could tell u were genuinely curious.
I love how she dove for it like "Mommy don't waste it!!" Lol. For any kid it's 100% okay to have chi chi for this long. ESPECIALLY a baby with medical issues because they have to have that extra comfort. Y'all have enough shit to deal with. Breast milk is usually sooo much healthier too.
This little girl has to go through so much at such a young age if it gives her comfort and calms her after having to go through a change of equipment i say comfort her I am sure she won't be breastfeeding in highschool so whatever works best for the two of you.
Absolutely
Agreed
I regretted weaning my first some at 23 months so right before he turned 2 and now I have a 2.5 year old and he is still nursing and I hate the judgement like it’s stressful enough without judgement but you’re doing a great job momma
You're doing what's best for you and your child. Tell whomever is in your business to mind their own! Don't listen to them and don't let those ass hats get to you. Your doing what's best for you both. Rock on Mama!
Somebody will always have something to say no matter what your doing. Do you mama and do what’s best for you and that beautiful baby girl. ❤❤❤
The way she squeezed it at the end and then Addy went for it😂😂😂
She is YOUR daughter, and YOU are breastfeeding her. Not gross. Literally made for her.
Breast milk IS best, especially in stressful situations!!! Stress lowers your immunity and breast milk can help replace that lost immunity!!! Type 1 diabetes is definitely a stressful situation!!! So hush all you naysayers and let mom do what she knows is best for Addie!!!
I don't understand why it's anyone's business. I think it's adorable! You are an amazing momma!
It’s more normal/natural than a binky at that age. And soothes much better. I wasn’t able to Brest feed my boy and I wish I could have. You do what is best for YOUR family!!! 🫶
People, just STOP with your narrow minded criticisms! We are 7 billion people on this planet and that equates to a hell of a lot of different ways to do things. Differences are great so be respectful about how others approach things and if you don't agree with it, keep your opinion to yourself, noone is interested!!!
You go mamma, you have one gorgeous fierce little human there ❤️
A mother can breastfeed as long as her and her child can do so. Y’all quit being so hateful to women!! Love all mothers that can actually mother a child instead of hating on them.
My daughter and ‘forgot’ to stop 😂 I asked her, one day, what her answer would be if someone asked why she still had ‘feedies’ at 3… she said “it makes me feel happy”… Is there any better reason than that to keep feeding your child?? ❤ (We ‘forgot’ until she was nearly 5!! I never thought we’d go that long TBH.)
She's actually not too old. Some people are just ugh. Let a kid be happy! ❤
Do what is best for your little girl chi chi is good for her. Don’t let other people tell you or make you feel bad because your are her mom who knows what’s best for you and her!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Don't let anyone tell you it's GROSS. I breastfed 2 of my 4 kids for 3½ years. They are the ones that not got sick like my other 2 that I just breastfed for 3 months. So you GO GIRL💪💪💪
It is absolutely no one's business but you and your daughter to determine when to stop breastfeeding. Ignore those who negatively insert themselves into your business. You are doing very well taking care of her.
Whatever makes you and your sweet little girl happy and content is all that counts
The little squirt and she got so excited LOL you show them
My daughter (2yo) was watching this over my shoulder and answered your question “what does it taste like?” (She said “good!!” 🤣) Keep goin’ Mama! She’s yours and yours alone!! 🤱🏻
Ignore comments like this. You know your daughter best and are still doing a wonderful job keeping her healthy and
well ❤❤❤❤
To TikTok person who said breast feeding is gross! You need a lesson in basic anatomy! It’s not gross. It’s human nature. Grow up!
I busted out laughing the way she jumped when you expressed the milk. It’s like she was saying no dear lord don’t waste it!!
Worldwide average age to wean is 7. I long-term nursed my son. He is 29, and I credit it partially for our close relationship. He was also not sick until he was in high school (we had obviously stopped nursing by then...) We also did co-sleeping. You do what is right for you! 💛
You are doing an awesome job with her!. If it helps soothe her at this age in dealing with her diabetes, go for it. Toddlers can be "stressful" enough. Having to deal with finger sticks, pod changes and sensor changes adds so much more. Any help is a blessing.
So u nursed him in middle school
@@sky-hv4zo LOL!!! Heavens no! Just meant that the benefits of nursing had continued for quite some time.
@@ynotquilt367 I know I was messing g with u who can ever last until middle school drinking baby milk I mean if there homeless and the mom still available to milk then good but if not poor them
It's gross, selfish behavior, mom!
@@goldengal2351 what u talking about and to who me.
She’s very logical. I believe breastfeeding is an individual desire. No more should tell you when to stop….. if it helps her to relax and be peaceful, then do it…. 😍
OMGOSH People MAKE me So Angry over A MOTHER FEEDING HER CHILD! IT IS NOT A SEXUAL THING! Kid's that are 5 Year's Old Going to School, Maybe NOT From The Breast, Pump & Give It to them in a Cup. It Is NOT Wrong! People Think They Can Force What They Think on to Other's when it is NOT THEIR PLACE! DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU & YOUR CHILD. If They DON'T like it, DON'T WATCH!! Why Does a Mother's Body Produce Milk, TO FEED THEIR CHILDREN! Breastfeeding Is Way BETTER then Formula! Formula is An Option When Mother's Milk Doesn't Come in or Doesn't Have Enough. I Tried but Mine Didn't Come In. My Kids Were Allergic & Had to Have Soy. I felt Bad I couldn't Provide For Them. DON'T Let ANYONE STOP You from FEEDING Her! ❤ You are Doing a Great Job!!
You keep it going as long as you want. I wish I could have fed my babies for just a year. I only got to feed mine for 4 months. People need to mind their own business and maybe if they did a little research they would see how beneficial it is for the little ones to be breast fed for as long as possible. Don’t let others make up your mind and or feel ashamed to feed your baby all that golden precious milk. Girl if you can supply it, go for it.
YOUR her mom No ONE else! what you do with her is your business screw the haters! She is so adorable
Please Don't Listen To People Being Negative, You Are Her Mum And You Always Know Best! Your A Brill Mum 💜 Xx
LOL! She’s adorable ❤❤
I get so tired of people smh . Let this lady raise her daughter however she wants . It just irritates my spirit when people act like they know what’s best for someone else . Worry about yourself and what you give your kids!!
This video made me realize just how smart Addie truly is.
Mama: What does it taste like
Addie: Um.. Milk🤣
oh Addie😂🤍
I believe it's the decision of the mother and her daughter when they stop breastfeeding, not people on the internet, its none of their business. Period!
I nursed my son for three and an half years… Give Addie her chi chi😅
You KNOW that a mother's breast milk is the best and healthiest kind of nutrition that a child could have, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
No one’s business. My two oldest weaned on their third birthday, youngest at two due a kidney problem with me. My doctor was highly supportive of my decision. Other people need to mind their own business. It’s the healthiest nutrition on the planet for a young child.
If it was my child, I would also think she is too old for breastfeeding, but she’s not my child. Therefore, it’s none of my business or anyone else’s. 🫶 You are the Mom and you should do what you feel is right for your child. 😊
People just need to mind their own damn business its your baby they can get over it LOL❤ I think it's sweet that y'all can still bond in that way😊
I nursed my older daughter until I was pregnant with the next one. I told her that I had a new baby in my tummy who needed the milk. She said "Oh, OK" and got off my lap
I just love Addie ❤ As long as Shes happy and it gives her comfort thats all that should matter!!! 😘💞💕💜
You can’t send them to school with boob milk to have at snack time while the others have cartons surely the kids will not understand why 😮I just think it’s a bit weird when they’ve got teeth and eat solids and talk but still breastfeeding 🫣
I agree 100% . People are also missing a big point on here as well. The child stated she wanted Chi-Chi when she was sad. She better start learning other self soothing habits as well. She is old enough now .She is going on 4. This will be very important for school time when it comes time.
Don’t listen to those comments. Those people are uneducated when it comes to nursing. You do what’s best for your child and you. Especially in a situation where the child is dealing with a situation that most people never have to and it comforts her. You do you!
You know normally I would agree But this little girl is Warrior and a trooper and she can have whatever she wants with what she has to go through And it sounds like you've already cut back It's not an all day everyday thing it's a night thing
Her little giggle at the end was so cute 🥰
You are an awesome mom. Don't listen to haters.
American Academy of Pediatrics says the following 3 things:
1. They recommend breastfeeding for up to 6-12 months.
2. Breastfeeding beyond 1 year can cause a lisp
3. Breastfeeding does enhance speech development however breastfeeding for to long can in fact stunt a child’s development
So these are just the facts everyone can decide what they think is right for their child. I think all kids are probably different ❤
😂 😂 😂 they say to 2 years or beyond! I'm a lactation consultant. Everything you said is a lie. Wow! No child has a lisp from breastfeeding or had stunted development. No studies have ever been done to say that. National average age to self wean is 4-6 years where the child looses ability to pull the milk out. I've known yes child to self wean before age 3 without mom helping.
As a nurse I have never seen a child have a lisp for breastfeeding past that age. I have been a nurse 25+ yrs. It's up to the parents
But pacifier is accepted 🤔
@@Nursing1988 she has a lisp in this video
My son weaned himself from breastfeeding after he turned 1. If he wanted to breastfeed longer I would have for as long as he wanted! It's nobody business how much longer she wants chi chi!
My grandson nursed until he was five. It is common in many cultures.
Give that baby some chi chi 😊❤
If someone gives you grief about it, just squirt them! 😂
First breast milk is proven to be better for t1d a friends baby was diagnosed at 5 months and hes 2 now and still gets breast fed and 2nd it is NOT gross it is natural and nutritious 3rd it is clearly a comfort to the baby 4th sadly I lost my son but if he were here I was gonna breast feed until he started biting 3 was my cut off age but thats personal preference and number 5 mind your business people shes doing whats best for HER baby
People on the internet are going to judge you for whatever they can. Your body, your baby, your choice.
She is like way way way way you have to you have your press I think you should stop joyed that for a couple of days😊😂
My mom breast feeded me for almost 6 years!!! Yeah i know that's a lot but my brave mumma didn't listen to anyone when they said that she shouldn't breastfeed me and it's gross... But she kept feeding me for 6 years and after that she gave birth to my sister
She is too cute ❤❤
Thank you for hitting back so hard !!😂 omg chi chi 😂
Ok it's your choice and the child's choice not theirs. It's really none of their business if you do this or not
My step mom is Thai and she was very surprised to see my son eating solids as a baby. They nurse their children in Thailand until 4 or 5 years old according to my dad and they don’t really introduce much solid food early on. Breastfeeding is completely natural and is super healthy. Nursed my first born until 13 months and hoping to make it to 16 with our second.
Honest and curious question for all the Mom's that breastfed their children until they were 2+ years old. Doesn't it hurt with them having teeth?
OMGOSH too cute. Adorable ❤❤
I breastfed my sons up until they were two. Because we have allergies in the family the pediatrician told us this was the minimum time they needed to build up their immune system.
Also: gross??? What is the matter with people? It is natural, the best pain med in the world, calms an upset stomach, is always fresh and at hand. A hundred times better than powder stirred into tapwater (ugh).
People live in an oversexualized world, see breasts in ads and films all the time. But when it comes to the natural function of these breasts, they are grossed out. Men who always wanted these for themselves did a very good job in turning these things upside down.
Keep her on chi chi for as long as you and her can it's the BEST thing for them!! The best and dont let ANY comment make you feel bad or that its wrong!! ❤❤
My internet niece wants chi chi so chi chi she gets ❤
I love that you are still forming that bond with her while giving her the immune supporting antibodies that her little body needs i unfortunately was unable to breast feed either of mine and feel like i really missed out. You do what is good for you and your precious daughter and dont worry about what people say you are a wonderful mom!
She’s really smart.. ❤adorable girl
Breast milk is probably the best thing you can give your child. It boosts their immune system and provides more nutrients than anything else they could eat. It’s the most natural thing a child can do, how is that gross? I’m pretty sure the person who wrote this comment doesn’t have the slightest clue about babies or how to raise them.
Please don't let anyone tell you to stop breastfeeding her, that is the best possible thing you could be giving her right now especially since she has type1diabetes most amish mothers breastfeed until 2 to 4 years old and they don't have half the health problems as other people do and I know this for a fact since I was born and raised amish!
