Feel sorry for the children being exploited for money. This girl in no time will be made fun of by cruel kids. Why? Why put them on camera for the world to see? Aren't they entitled to privacy and respect?
Yes. Adults are already starting to sue their parents for sharing their images and identity without consent. It deprives the child of their autonomy to make that decision for themselves when they are old enough to give informed consent.
You do you… but just know that extended breastfeeding often occurs in areas where food/nutrition is scarce, not because they don’t feel like washing out a sippy cup.

They're not even saving washing bottles either though lol. She's washing the same amount of dishes regardless if she does it or not cuz these kids wouldn't even be on bottles if she stopped 🤣. She's not giving them milk period to drink either, so she's still gotta wash sippy cups so 🤷♀️ lol
I want to leave a positive comment but it’s hard for me to find this as a normal and good thing for 5 year old kid. Sometimes I think that the mother is having hard time to stop breastfeeding not the child. Everyone has their own way to live their lives.
im same , i sat and watched and can somewhat understand a 2 year old but 5 , i do think maybe mom is finding it more difficult than a child would mainly because of the comments of i dont have to wash up , i fee there very relaxed and lazy
@@jemmaj2919good point theses kids will probably get bullied at school about this at some point. And when they’re teenagers be embarrassed by it. They can’t consent because they’re kids.
@@jemmaj2919as someone who knows this mom personally, she is definitely not exploiting her kids for money, tandem breastfeeding genuinely works out for her family.

I know at least one of my family members who was nursed till about 5. He's grown and normal. Looks like any other guy, married, owns a home, has friends and hobbies. It's just such a small part of the whole lifetime development of the individual.
While i do think that breastfeeding at 5 is a bit much, i really doubt it's hurting her children at all. Yes you could say they'll get made fun of, but kids will literally find ANYTHING to be mean about if they want to.
Yes but she can avoid this one but won't! I'm sure this is one of the reasons she's home schooling them. Because she knows its wrong and they will 100% be made fun of.
I’m currently STILL breastfeeding my 1 year old. She’ll be 2 in august and I absolutely can’t stand it anymore. I breastfed all my kids (4) but they all stopped after 4-6 months and took the bottle. This baby will NOT take a bottle: the girl eats food all day, can drink out a water bottle but still wants my boob. I’m seriously tired of it. Breastfeeding the 5 year old is weird! The only pro about still breastfeeding her is she has an amazing immune system. Everyone in my house had the flu, including me. But my breastfeeding baby didn’t get sick., at all
Yes I agree breastfeeding babies rarely get sick. My baby turns 2 in July and she's still breastfeeding too. I don't know when she'll want to stop at this point. I enjoy the bonding time with her but it is a little annoying when she wants me to feed her in public or when I'm trying to get other things done. She wants me to sit down and feed her.
It's not a bad thing. I stopped nursing at 4 years ten days. I'm nursing an almost 2 year old right now. I will be tandem nursing a newborn with the 2 year old in a few days. Completely normal.
You are amazing! I breast fed my son until I was 8 month pregnant and he decided to stop. I breast fed that baby until I was 6 month pregnant and she decided to stop and I breast fed my last child until she decided to stop which it was at 2 and a half years old. I would have tandem nurse them but they were not interested… 😢 the main thing is nursing is the best built in tool we have to give our children the best God made food for them. I am proud of all you breast feeding mommas out there.
The biggest concern would evaluate what the long term psychological impact would be for the child. It is known that at the core of a malignant narcissist and psychopaths history is the narcissistic injury caused by the relationship with a mother. Every well known psychopath has a direct negative relationship with their mother. Whether they were unloved, abused, neglected, over loved, coddled, etc. When you take this extended breastfeeding to the extreme, the analysis should include what that long term impact would be for a young boy, growing into a man. What would his dependency then need to be onto future relationships? The fact this mother even indicates there is sexual gratification she gets out of breastfeeding puts these concerns in the spotlight. It is the responsibility of a mother to provide balance and boundaries. There are red flags being ignored and even defended.
There is absolutely zero benefit to allowing this to continue. These children continue to turn to mom for comfort instead of learning to handle things.
@judyturner3008 there is a difference between turning to your mother for comfort at any age...but not breastfeeding at any age. These kids are too old to continue to nurse, and utilize her for comfort in that manner. That's what's wrong with many of the young people of today. They don't learn how to be independent and deal with what life throws at them.
@@judyturner3008Breastfeeding to confort children It's the biggest mistake ever. I heard It from a professional. Breastfeed It's to feed not to confort, come on!
You wouldn’t let a five year old keep a baby bottle so why would you let a child nurse when it’s not nutritionally needed???? It’s more for you than THEM. 🤷🏻♀️
@LisaKayOGQ, to imply that formula coming out of a bottle is on a nutritional par with breast milk advertises your colossal ignorance. Breast milk contains protective antibodies and nutritional elements tailored to the individual needs of the nursing child. Hormones released during lactation are scientifically shown to decrease aggressive behavior in the mother in any species. Those same hormones promote bonding and protective behavior in the mother. Breast feeding is about so much more than nutrition…for however long it continues.
Breastfeeding has tons of benefits. The 2 yr old is no issue, but at 5 they are getting older and you dont want them bullied by peers. I think the main concern is sharing it with the world. How will your children feel as they older bc you shared a very private thing.
@@RichBrady78 A 5 yr old and a 2 yr old do not need to be breastfed. The nutrients in the breast milk are no longer needed at these ages. They come from other sources in their diets. If she was doing it for them and not herself, she could pump the milk and give it to them in glass. Obviously you are the one who doesn't have a clue.
Why not just pump the milk out and the kid can have it with cereal or whatever. It’s kinda sus she still wants a 5 year old at her breast when there are other ways he could have the milk
God forbid there be any sort of benefits to the mother as well 🤦🏾♀️ which studies show that breastfeeding has quite a bit of benifit to mental and physical well being as well as the child.
God forbid the mother receive any sort of benefit 🤦🏾♀️ studies have shown that breastfeeding is beneficial to mothers both mentally and physically as well.
5:00 okay I know this is about her breastfeeding, but do you see that collar on that poor dog?! That type of collar causes so many health issues! What is wrong with this mother and why is her husband enabling her behavior?
@@katharine1285 much of our family does this as well, but never with others around, especially friends ( KIDS 🫣) unless it's a specific community where this is accepted and common place and even still it's usually just topless, with many of the women nursing infants and children on and off anyway.
Children raised like this are tolerant and secure and don't typically have negative feelings towards this time in their lives. It's other people that put their unaware or poorly educated spin on it, that taint a good thing.
WHY can't some people just keep stuff to themselves?? Sheesh. Other mammals have sense enough to chase their young away from the nipple when their teeth start to develop.
It’s not the breast feeding that ppl are upset w/ 😂no school age child should still be breast feeding. Your child can speak full sentences and use the bathroom on their own. I think she’s one of those extremely codependent ppl that needs to feel needed 24/7.
And probably straight up demands it with words. It's hard to ignore when they can vocalize exactly what they want and exactly what they want is to nurse.
@@tiffanincarterIt's insane. Hard to ignore them cause they can vocalize, OMG.. That way kids can do what ever they want with their parents.. That's crazy.
At 5 years old you should have a diet of various fruits, veggies, protein, and carbs so that you continue to grow and thrive physically. The fact that her daughter is mostly dependent on breast milk leads me to believe she’s malnourished 🤷🏽♀️ say what you want but this is wrong on multiple levels.
@@stellagrey1465 So if a man has to pull his penis out in public to pee that is not considered sexual either but this is a considered a sex crime. So why do women think it’s acceptable to force their naked body on strangers it’s just polite to wear a shawl over your feed your baby if in public.
Yes, it is certainly possible, and there are positive health and social benefits for all those involved. I am a lactation counsellor, and my comment is backed by much science.
oh this lady WILL FIND A WAY! Even though the sensible thing to do would be to kick the 5 AND 2yr [guessing is abt to turn 3 but they want to emphasize that he is still technically 2 ppl!] old off and let the baby get as much of that initial milk with the colostrum but im sure this lady will split between the 3 of them oh my goodness!
My cousin nursed until 5, and he’s the most successful 27 year old I know! It’s just an anecdote but I always think of it, and he really is an amazing human… makes great money, travels, has moved away yet still drops anything to care for his parents. I’m still nursing my 2.5 year old 🤷🏼♀️ Historically and globally speaking normal weaning happens between 2-5 years old. It’s just not as common in our culture but very biologically normal.
Im going to get sh-t for my comment but..."The type of parenting I identify with right now" says ALL you need to know about her. She's gonna keep switching what "type" of parenting she "identifies" with because she needs to make sure shes being praised for what she's doing. She wants those kids as dependent on her for as long as possible,they dont even go to school. The 5 yr olds speech is way behind. She also slips up and states she breastfeeds because shes too lazy to wash dishes. You can tell in the old videos where that woman starts falling off the wagon. Also,she needs to stop abusing animals. Take that metal collar off that poor dog and put it on her, im curious how happy she'll be having that dig into her windpipe.
Hippi Parents…that’s all I gotta say. Hippi Parents. Edit: I mean she is a good mom and I’ve got no issues with her parenting but 5 is too old to breastfeed! They need nutrients from the rest of their diet and they have a strong enough immune system to be able to withstand illness. There are no nutritional benefits from breastfeeding at that age.
How would they be embarrassed or traumatized?? This is a purely natural thing we are talking about here and it’s judgments from others that makes it that way. The kids don’t think that way it’s just milk from their mom…
@@CingStarz22 Well, of course kids don't think that way while it's happening, but I can imagine how embarrassing it could be, if once in highschool, their classmates found a video of them still breastfeeding at 5 years old and older. That's all the ammunition a bully needs to make that kid's life miserable, and you better believe they'll use it as often as possible, for as long as possible. As for "traumatized", I can't say, but they'd most likely be embarrassed.
I've heard of moms breastfeeding until 4 yrs old, but not much on older kids. You shouldn't be letting your kids decide when they're done nursing. It's possible they won't want to quit. You should consult a Pediatric behavioralist or Pediatric psychologist that also specializes with homeopathic methods and see what they feel medically is the best choice where you aren't damaging their psyche over later on saying omg I nursed on my mother in the 1st grade, or whenever. They could get bullied or suffer some kind of emotional repercussion from your decision because they didn't have the capacity to make better judgment at their ages. That's why parents have to do not only what's best for them but also take into consideration their future thoughts.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm all for breastfeeding, and I breastfed my 3 children. However, I also decided to stop when they started playing with other kids, running on the playground, etc, start of preschool. I consulted with a couple advocates as well as a child development specialist and my kids pediatrician (she was very knowledgeable on breastfeeding practices and encouraged it) before making any decisions. It's always helpful to gain as much knowledge before personal decisions so you can prepare their future best without harm.
For an older child breastfeeding isn't about the milk. Older children will even dry-nurse if their mother allows them. So why do it? Why breastfeed a child that doesn't need the milk? It's an emotional need or comfort on the part of the mother and the child. The most common reason for mothers is to calm the child down and comfort them. Some mothers find that some children need to "wind-down" before a nap, or going to bed. Breastfeeding gives them that emotional bonding time to relax and prepare for rest. The child is calmer and the transition to nap and bedtime are smoother. Sometimes mothers find it a way to comfort a child after a painful fall, or separation anxiety when the mother returns from a visit or work. It also provides security and safety for children going through difficult times perhaps a divorce or a move of address or different school. That snuggle time provides comfort and peace. It provides that bonding time especially for working mothers to reconnect with their child in the most intimate way possible. *It's basically the KID'S EQUIVELENT OF A BUBBLE BATH, GLASS OF WINE, & A GOOD BOOK.
Emotional attachment. There's such a thing as a child holding the mother's breasts hostages. It's not abnormal for older toddlers and children to want their mother's breasts all for themselves. What a better way to commandeer all of your mother's attention body and soul, than by nursing on her breast? Children are always craving a mother's attention, and having to share it is difficult. So breastfeeding becomes a tool to manipulate a child's time with their mother when she is busy with the rest of the family, or doing other things. It can create problems with the child getting aggressive and demanding with their mother over breastfeeding, to where it's not enjoyable for the mother anymore, but only the child. * The child then becomes in charge of the daily schedule, and the mother "gives in" for peace to comfort the child by breast feeding. Unfortunately, this blackmailing of breasts becomes a burden for the mother, and the only one enjoying nursing is the child. The child shouldn't dictate when or where to breastfeed or how many times. It's not a nutritional requirement, but an emotional comfort. *Now, I'm not saying the child isn't receiving benefit from the breast milk, but the breast milk isn't a nutritional requirement that she/he needs outside of their daily diet . The other concern is jealousy. Toddlers or the first child naturally get jealous of the new baby in the family. So tandem breast feeding is an alternative for both children to breastfeed at the same time. However, even during tandem breast feeding a baby and older child can have conflicts with jealousy and trying to "own" mother's breasts. This usually occurs with the older child as they're not their to nurse out of hunger, but nurse out of comfort.
To Charlotte: Just ignore the negative comments. They don't know or understand you. Apparently, they don't get it, nor will they ever get it. They're so closed-minded. Let them think what they want. If you ignore them, maybe they'll stop since they won't be getting the attention they want from you.
Breastfeeding is a beautiful experience between a mother and her BABY not a child that is school age. This is just my opinion but breastfeeding a older child is wrong....
Mother's milk, free of impurities, strengthen a child's immunity, makes milk that is easier to digest, and fosters a closeness that's hard to match. Now we know why they say that only man feeds his children milk from other species. God knows what's best for His children.
For me it's that she is saying it's easier to breastfeed them than to do dishes. Their morning routine and everyones days are going to be MAKING MEALS. MEALS MAKE DISHES... So to me her reasoning doesn't reason. If she even said. I want my 5 year old to get these nutrients. I'd still be apprehensive. But to say NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA DO THESE DISHES???? NAH!!! SHE LOST ME!!!!!
I do find it odd, I wouldn’t want to continue breastfeeding that long. But whatever, they’re her kids and she can do whatever she wants. I don’t think the nursing itself is inherently harmful to the children. However, I am bothered by her putting it on the internet for everyone to see. It’s a private matter, and those kids have no way to understand or consent to it being shared. The internet is FOREVER. To have the time and money to be able to sleep in, stay home, nurse whenever you want in your big comfy chair is a huge privilege. Many, if not most, women don’t get the luxury of breastfeeding for even the first year because they have to go to work! That she’s decided this needs to be shared with the world, gives a very self centered vibe. A bit of a smug, look at me and my amazing earth mother life. I’m so pure and wonderful! I don’t believe it is being shared to encourage others to do the same and extend their breastfeeding time, but instead is looking for attention and praise. And presumably her social media presence earns money. That’s exploitation if the kids are the content. Raise your children however you see fit, it’s not my business. But keep your business to yourself. Kids deserve an anonymous childhood.
She’s doing a great job at being a mom to her kids no doubt. However, breastfeeding a 5 year old is just taking it too far regardless of any nutritional benefit involved. It’s almost as bad as letting your 5 year still wear diapers unless they’re have special needs that make it hard for them to become fully potty trained sooner. No hate I just find it very odd. Especially when the 5 year old is perfectly capable of drinking milk from a cup and eating normal food. I find it odd for the both of them but the older one especially. There’s a reason that people say, you’re too old for this and it rings true here as well.
I dont see anything wrong with this, let her parent and raise her kids the way she is doing it..... shes raising her kids right and thats all that matters ❤❤❤❤❤
This is so crazy!!! There’s a reason why the specialists have stated this to be wrong. I mean she’s waiting for the kids to say when they want to stop???? What if that never happens??? This is so wrong in so many ways!!! 🙀🙀🙀
@kat66meow, Agree, 5 year old breast feeding still? The mother also mentioned when she herself is ready to stop- meaning she is doing this for herself. The psychological issue can’t be good either for the child, they knowingly are breastfeeding at age 5 what the heck, hope the kid doesn’t get made fun of. Not to mention if they’re that old this is considered sexual abuse.
I’m shocked by all the ignorant comments. This is not hurting the children. Many other countries breastfeed longer than the US. Biologically we are probably meant to breastfeed longer than most people do.
Good for you Mom!! There are so many benefits to extended breastfeeding! Both of my children self-weaned. One at 3 yrs 7 months, the other at 3 yrs 5 months. 💜 Haters gonna hate- you do what feels best for your family. Many people feel threatened by natural parenting and will lash out. I’m here to tell you Keep Going!!! When I was asked (with attitude) “When are you going to stop breastfeeding?!” My reply was always “Well, when they go off to college, it’s going to be difficult- so maybe then.”
God she's annoying. She's made breastfeeding a routine every morning, so obviously the kids won't stop suddenly. And she loves being needed. As parents, you can't be this selfish, gotta raise kids so they can lead independent lives. The husband is another loser.
So, there are mothers who do this and seem absurd. The jokes about dishes, sure, but at the end of the day? Charlotte is the first extended breast feeding mom who had made the choice make sense to me. As someone who will never breastfeed even if I have kids, I think what a mother does in terms of how long they breastfeed or if they even do, really doesn’t matter as much as people like to make it. Her kids will slow down, they’ll stop eventually. My niece was breastfed for two years but still did it on and off for comfort until she was 3 1/2. She’s an amazing kid. The idea that a child would choose to breastfeed until college is absurd. With my niece the more she wanted to spend time with cousins and friends, the less she wanted to breastfeed. Similarly, as she became more independent and confident, she breastfed less, too. Let parents comfort their kids. They’re eating, so it isn’t as though they’re lacking in nutrients.
I haven’t finished this yet. I tandem breastfed for little longer than this. I don’t have attachment issues. Never was weird at all it’s very very natural and my children never once thought was anything but comforting. I went insane last few thought bc I was very much over it by that time because that’s a long long time. I think it’s weird this video fits in between some actually strange videos it’s sad to think something that is so natural and beautiful. I never regret my decision and it didn’t negatively effect my children or our relationship….
Its okay, in the rural, most kids stop breastfeed later compare in town. People in town tends to ridicule everything because they are trying to guilt trip something they can't done. It's sad we hope for freedom in choice but judged instead. For me as long as it doesn't bring harm or hurt people around, it's fine
What happens to the colostrum that a newborn needs? Wouldn't the older child get that before the newborn manages to? Do mothers have to stop feeding their older child for a while after birth so the new baby can have those first important newborn colostrum feeds?
On one hand I say, do what works for you. But on the other hand, your kids, when they are in school, they WILL, unfortunately, be bullied without mercy. If you’re planning on homeschooling through 12th grade though, i don’t see a problem with it. I seriously hope you plan to homeschool. Otherwise those bullies already have WAAAAY too much ammunition to devastate your children with all the videos you are posting. I would never have put my children on the internet with such private content, because I would be ignoring the extremely high chance that they would never agree to it. I totally understand what you’re saying and doing, because ONLY a mother knows what is right and healthy for her children, but thinking about the long term emotional, and mental health of posting this type of videos…that’s where I can’t agree, because of the potential for emotional distress.
Honestly, I literally thought women usually stop lactating milk 1 year after the birth? Because usually the child is completely onto soft solid foods by the time they turn 1 year.
They shouldn't be though. You can thank industrialized parenting for that. Food before 1 is just for fun and can be detrimental to the natural gut of not feeding the proper foods to begin with.
I have an open mind and I support breast feeding. Anyway, breast feeding has no negative impact for anyone, so if someone does not like it, (s)he does not have to watch it. Everyone should organize theit life. However, I have a feeling that many people just want to get more attention making self-advertisement. So, as long as it good for children, why not..? But please do not force it for mother's popularity.

The biggest concern would evaluate what the long term psychological impact would be for the child. It is known that at the core of a malignant narcissist and psychopaths history is the narcissistic injury caused by the relationship with a mother. Every well known psychopath has a direct negative relationship with their mother. Whether they were unloved, abused, neglected, over loved, coddled, etc. When you take this extended breastfeeding to the extreme, the analysis should include what that long term impact would be for a young boy, growing into a man. What would his dependency then need to be onto future relationships? The fact this mother even indicates there is sexual gratification she gets out of breastfeeding puts these concerns in the spotlight. It is the responsibility of a mother to provide balance and boundaries. There are red flags being ignored and even defended.
When did she say she gets sexual gratification ? I think this is weird as hell but don’t think she’s doing it sexually
There is absolutely zero benefit to allowing this to continue. These children continue to turn to mom for comfort instead of learning to handle things.
The WHO recommends up until the age of 4-7. How about you learn some facts before spouting your silly nonsense.
A child turning to their Mama for comfort....Omg! I'm 47 yrs old & still want & need my Mama. You sound crazy!
@judyturner3008 there is a difference between turning to your mother for comfort at any age...but not breastfeeding at any age. These kids are too old to continue to nurse, and utilize her for comfort in that manner. That's what's wrong with many of the young people of today. They don't learn how to be independent and deal with what life throws at them.
@@JaCoCop Oh ok, so you're more educated than WHO officials then?
@@judyturner3008Breastfeeding to confort children It's the biggest mistake ever. I heard It from a professional. Breastfeed It's to feed not to confort, come on!
You wouldn’t let a five year old keep a baby bottle so why would you let a child nurse when it’s not nutritionally needed???? It’s more for you than THEM. 🤷🏻♀️
@LisaKayOGQ, to imply that formula coming out of a bottle is on a nutritional par with breast milk advertises your colossal ignorance. Breast milk contains protective antibodies and nutritional elements tailored to the individual needs of the nursing child. Hormones released during lactation are scientifically shown to decrease aggressive behavior in the mother in any species. Those same hormones promote bonding and protective behavior in the mother. Breast feeding is about so much more than nutrition…for however long it continues.
So well said !!!!
Breastfeeding has tons of benefits. The 2 yr old is no issue, but at 5 they are getting older and you dont want them bullied by peers. I think the main concern is sharing it with the world. How will your children feel as they older bc you shared a very private thing.
The biggest problem is the fact that she is telling everybody. They will wean when they're ready but it's private and should stay that way.
There is No need to be breastfeeding either one. You are doing this for you, not for them.
Who are you to judge? You have no clue. Get the plank out of your own eye before you try to take the speck out of somebody else's eye.
@@RichBrady78 A 5 yr old and a 2 yr old do not need to be breastfed. The nutrients in the breast milk are no longer needed at these ages. They come from other sources in their diets.
If she was doing it for them and not herself, she could pump the milk and give it to them in glass. Obviously you are the one who doesn't have a clue.
Why not just pump the milk out and the kid can have it with cereal or whatever. It’s kinda sus she still wants a 5 year old at her breast when there are other ways he could have the milk
Yeah, it’s totally weird.
Her breastfeeding her children is more about what she needs not her children.
God forbid there be any sort of benefits to the mother as well 🤦🏾♀️ which studies show that breastfeeding has quite a bit of benifit to mental and physical well being as well as the child.
God forbid the mother receive any sort of benefit 🤦🏾♀️ studies have shown that breastfeeding is beneficial to mothers both mentally and physically as well.
How so?
Exactly, she does not have her children’s best interests at heart.

okay I know this is about her breastfeeding, but do you see that collar on that poor dog?! That type of collar causes so many health issues! What is wrong with this mother and why is her husband enabling her behavior?
I don’t agree with breastfeeding the five year old, but see no problem with it for the two year old
There’s a problem with both, but especially for the 5 year old.
There’s something perverse about this. And child neglect. These children need proper solids and need to learn to self soothe
Yes, it’s grooming behaviour.
My sons dad once told me his mom was naked so much he couldn’t stop picturing it . Once we develop memories it’s time to stop.
😮 damn. My husband had a friend that their whole family would sleep in the nude lol. He spent the night once and never came back😂
@@katharine1285 much of our family does this as well, but never with others around, especially friends ( KIDS 🫣) unless it's a specific community where this is accepted and common place and even still it's usually just topless, with many of the women nursing infants and children on and off anyway.
I can't wait to hear the grown up version of "I was breastfed by my mother until the age of 5+"
My dad was, he is currently 75 amazing health, and still going strong.
Children raised like this are tolerant and secure and don't typically have negative feelings towards this time in their lives. It's other people that put their unaware or poorly educated spin on it, that taint a good thing.
I was breastfed till 5. Have actual memories of asking for "boobie" and I'm totally fine. Doesn't bother me. I'm a normal functioning adult.
@@tiffanincarter They will once they see these old videos showed to the world. Then have teenager friends making fun of them.
@@SugarMollyHazel I bet they won’t have such a problem in their lives
WHY can't some people just keep stuff to themselves?? Sheesh. Other mammals have sense enough to chase their young away from the nipple when their teeth start to develop.
It’s not the breast feeding that ppl are upset w/ 😂no school age child should still be breast feeding. Your child can speak full sentences and use the bathroom on their own. I think she’s one of those extremely codependent ppl that needs to feel needed 24/7.
And probably straight up demands it with words. It's hard to ignore when they can vocalize exactly what they want and exactly what they want is to nurse.
@@tiffanincarterIt's insane. Hard to ignore them cause they can vocalize, OMG.. That way kids can do what ever they want with their parents.. That's crazy.
At 5 years old you should have a diet of various fruits, veggies, protein, and carbs so that you continue to grow and thrive physically. The fact that her daughter is mostly dependent on breast milk leads me to believe she’s malnourished 🤷🏽♀️ say what you want but this is wrong on multiple levels.
The kids both look developmentally appropriate for their ages. So I think that answers the matter of nutrition.
@@ladym.9268yup, they get food, too. A lotta people fail to realize that.
They are still eating food though... Just still being supplemented and soothed by bm.
What happens if the child doesn't ever want to wean? Genuine question
@robynhayward, Then this woman should honestly get in trouble for grooming and sexual abuse because the kid never had a choice they’re being coached.
@@missld6856there's nothing sexual about breastfeeding. I can't believe anyone would say that let alone think like that.
@@stellagrey1465 So if a man has to pull his penis out in public to pee that is not considered sexual either but this is a considered a sex crime. So why do women think it’s acceptable to force their naked body on strangers it’s just polite to wear a shawl over your feed your baby if in public.
@@stellagrey1465it is 💀💀
@@stellagrey1465 So lets say she's now 10, you STILL think that's alright? Even if the child wants it, if so that's crazy.
Lady if u want them to have ur milk just give them a cup with it milk lol
Excellent comment! That'd be totally different story.
Why does it matter? You all are making it gross.
Because it is gross @@tiffanincarter
Exactly! I express milk and feed my 9 week old that way.
I wonder what happens if she has another baby, and she's still breastfeeding the other two children? Can you breastfeed three children?
I nursed twins throughout my pregnancy with my singleton and then nursed all three after she was born. It's hard, but it's doable!
Yes, it is certainly possible, and there are positive health and social benefits for all those involved. I am a lactation counsellor, and my comment is backed by much science.
@@spiralpython1989 oh really? and no age restrictions there?
oh this lady WILL FIND A WAY! Even though the sensible thing to do would be to kick the 5 AND 2yr [guessing is abt to turn 3 but they want to emphasize that he is still technically 2 ppl!] old off and let the baby get as much of that initial milk with the colostrum but im sure this lady will split between the 3 of them oh my goodness!
Triplets need food of course
Do the kids wash down the breakfast with some breast milk? Asking for a friend! 😂
My cousin nursed until 5, and he’s the most successful 27 year old I know! It’s just an anecdote but I always think of it, and he really is an amazing human… makes great money, travels, has moved away yet still drops anything to care for his parents.
I’m still nursing my 2.5 year old 🤷🏼♀️ Historically and globally speaking normal weaning happens between 2-5 years old. It’s just not as common in our culture but very biologically normal.
No thanks, not at 5
Im going to get sh-t for my comment but..."The type of parenting I identify with right now" says ALL you need to know about her. She's gonna keep switching what "type" of parenting she "identifies" with because she needs to make sure shes being praised for what she's doing. She wants those kids as dependent on her for as long as possible,they dont even go to school. The 5 yr olds speech is way behind. She also slips up and states she breastfeeds because shes too lazy to wash dishes. You can tell in the old videos where that woman starts falling off the wagon. Also,she needs to stop abusing animals. Take that metal collar off that poor dog and put it on her, im curious how happy she'll be having that dig into her windpipe.
Hippi Parents…that’s all I gotta say. Hippi Parents.
Edit: I mean she is a good mom and I’ve got no issues with her parenting but 5 is too old to breastfeed! They need nutrients from the rest of their diet and they have a strong enough immune system to be able to withstand illness. There are no nutritional benefits from breastfeeding at that age.
A good mother would never exploit their children online for attention.
They eat food too. It showed them making breakfast.
The WHO recommends up to two years of age, and after that there is no nutritional value.
You can't make money off of children who aren't consuming the milk of other animals or eating other mass produced foods...

Your comment about breastfeeding being easier than washing a sippy cup says it all.
"They're going to be empowered."
I think the word you're looking for is embarrassed.😉
Embarrassed at best, traumatized at worst.
How would they be embarrassed or traumatized?? This is a purely natural thing we are talking about here and it’s judgments from others that makes it that way. The kids don’t think that way it’s just milk from their mom…
@@CingStarz22 Well, of course kids don't think that way while it's happening, but I can imagine how embarrassing it could be, if once in highschool, their classmates found a video of them still breastfeeding at 5 years old and older. That's all the ammunition a bully needs to make that kid's life miserable, and you better believe they'll use it as often as possible, for as long as possible.
As for "traumatized", I can't say, but they'd most likely be embarrassed.
You dunno what her kids will feel.
Not the dental problems
It’s the opposite bottle feeding and pacifiers can cause more dental issues
I've heard of moms breastfeeding until 4 yrs old, but not much on older kids. You shouldn't be letting your kids decide when they're done nursing. It's possible they won't want to quit. You should consult a Pediatric behavioralist or Pediatric psychologist that also specializes with homeopathic methods and see what they feel medically is the best choice where you aren't damaging their psyche over later on saying omg I nursed on my mother in the 1st grade, or whenever. They could get bullied or suffer some kind of emotional repercussion from your decision because they didn't have the capacity to make better judgment at their ages. That's why parents have to do not only what's best for them but also take into consideration their future thoughts.
And before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm all for breastfeeding, and I breastfed my 3 children. However, I also decided to stop when they started playing with other kids, running on the playground, etc, start of preschool. I consulted with a couple advocates as well as a child development specialist and my kids pediatrician (she was very knowledgeable on breastfeeding practices and encouraged it) before making any decisions. It's always helpful to gain as much knowledge before personal decisions so you can prepare their future best without harm.
For an older child breastfeeding isn't about the milk. Older children will even dry-nurse if their mother allows them. So why do it? Why breastfeed a child that doesn't need the milk? It's an emotional need or comfort on the part of the mother and the child. The most common reason for mothers is to calm the child down and comfort them. Some mothers find that some children need to "wind-down" before a nap, or going to bed. Breastfeeding gives them that emotional bonding time to relax and prepare for rest. The child is calmer and the transition to nap and bedtime are smoother. Sometimes mothers find it a way to comfort a child after a painful fall, or separation anxiety when the mother returns from a visit or work. It also provides security and safety for children going through difficult times perhaps a divorce or a move of address or different school. That snuggle time provides comfort and peace. It provides that bonding time especially for working mothers to reconnect with their child in the most intimate way possible. *It's basically the KID'S EQUIVELENT OF A BUBBLE BATH, GLASS OF WINE, & A GOOD BOOK.
Emotional attachment. There's such a thing as a child holding the mother's breasts hostages. It's not abnormal for older toddlers and children to want their mother's breasts all for themselves. What a better way to commandeer all of your mother's attention body and soul, than by nursing on her breast? Children are always craving a mother's attention, and having to share it is difficult. So breastfeeding becomes a tool to manipulate a child's time with their mother when she is busy with the rest of the family, or doing other things. It can create problems with the child getting aggressive and demanding with their mother over breastfeeding, to where it's not enjoyable for the mother anymore, but only the child. * The child then becomes in charge of the daily schedule, and the mother "gives in" for peace to comfort the child by breast feeding. Unfortunately, this blackmailing of breasts becomes a burden for the mother, and the only one enjoying nursing is the child. The child shouldn't dictate when or where to breastfeed or how many times. It's not a nutritional requirement, but an emotional comfort. *Now, I'm not saying the child isn't receiving benefit from the breast milk, but the breast milk isn't a nutritional requirement that she/he needs outside of their daily diet . The other concern is jealousy. Toddlers or the first child naturally get jealous of the new baby in the family. So tandem breast feeding is an alternative for both children to breastfeed at the same time. However, even during tandem breast feeding a baby and older child can have conflicts with jealousy and trying to "own" mother's breasts. This usually occurs with the older child as they're not their to nurse out of hunger, but nurse out of comfort.
People should worry about themselves.
Thank you for this!!
And yes, breast milk has analgesic properties that can help minimize pain after accidents.
The mom is the one with attachment issues…not the kid
Exactly and this is not secure attachment parenting. I wish people like her would stop bending terms to fit their lives.
Why put this out to the world?
To support other mothers who believe this method works for their family? Wage said it in the video..
Now anybody can enjoy this intimate moment with you, congrats!
5 is ridiculous absolutely ridiculous....
Anything over 2 is absolutely wrong. jesus, lady
No. You are completely lazy if your worried about washing bottles and sippy cups. It’s the attention you people need and want .
Such a beautiful mama& child relationship. LOVE seeing other moms with a breastfeeding journey too.
Remember that kid from "Game of Thrones" who breastfed till he was like 12? Enough said.
Didn't the crime drama Criminal Minds display a serial killer who was breastfeed up to his teenage years?
S1E9 Smother
I definitely remember that! 😂
i mean why to always share everything online !!! imagine the kids seeing this in the future
What?! Imagine them seeing their Mom feeding & taking care of them?! How horrorific...smh
Imagine them remembering it too!
I can't believe how far I had to scroll down for this!
"Earth woman" "I wanna be a hippy, they were cool" Give me a break. This mother is not a parent. SHE is codependent. Very unhealthy.
To Charlotte: Just ignore the negative comments. They don't know or understand you. Apparently, they don't get it, nor will they ever get it. They're so closed-minded. Let them think what they want. If you ignore them, maybe they'll stop since they won't be getting the attention they want from you.
Nah that crap is just weird though. She is still pulling a boob out for a 5 uear old who is old enough for school.
Wow she's saying she doesn't want to wash dishes. Thats just lazy. Pick another reason why you do it instead of that.
Wow... i cant believe how many people have a fit about this.
Let them do them:)
Those babies are loved and cared for❤ so they are doing just fine!
Breastfeeding is not a prerequisite for secure parenting. It is time to wean. This is not necessary for them .
Breastfeeding is a beautiful experience between a mother and her BABY not a child that is school age. This is just my opinion but breastfeeding a older child is wrong....
Your children. Your way. I cannot think of one reason why you should stop. Great Job, Mama. You feed those babies !
yeah... thats nice and stuff. dont do that - it can cause massive behavioral problems for the older child
Empowered more like embarrassed
Five is like a kindergartner so that’s weird..
It’s a choice, not mine but I won’t judge. She is involved with her children while most are not, can we celebrate that?
Most mothers have jobs. This is one way to avoid that.
No, because her kids would be better off with an uninvolved mother. These videos are online forever, and it will screw these kids up.

@@americangirl6654 that was ignorant
Mother's milk, free of impurities, strengthen a child's immunity, makes milk that is easier to digest, and fosters a closeness that's hard to match. Now we know why they say that only man feeds his children milk from other species. God knows what's best for His children.
Yeah not when youre 5!!! Then you need proper nutrition from food
And of course the breast milk of other animals meant for their young! Don't forget that necessary nutrient 😅
Don’t bring God into this! It’s sick.
I agree with breastfeeding but honestly at 5years old is a lot
This woman is disturbed!! 😳😳😳
For me it's that she is saying it's easier to breastfeed them than to do dishes. Their morning routine and everyones days are going to be MAKING MEALS. MEALS MAKE DISHES... So to me her reasoning doesn't reason. If she even said. I want my 5 year old to get these nutrients. I'd still be apprehensive. But to say NO ONE ELSE IS GONNA DO THESE DISHES???? NAH!!! SHE LOST ME!!!!!
I do find it odd, I wouldn’t want to continue breastfeeding that long. But whatever, they’re her kids and she can do whatever she wants. I don’t think the nursing itself is inherently harmful to the children.
However, I am bothered by her putting it on the internet for everyone to see. It’s a private matter, and those kids have no way to understand or consent to it being shared.
The internet is FOREVER.
To have the time and money to be able to sleep in, stay home, nurse whenever you want in your big comfy chair is a huge privilege. Many, if not most, women don’t get the luxury of breastfeeding for even the first year because they have to go to work!
That she’s decided this needs to be shared with the world, gives a very self centered vibe. A bit of a smug, look at me and my amazing earth mother life. I’m so pure and wonderful!
I don’t believe it is being shared to encourage others to do the same and extend their breastfeeding time, but instead is looking for attention and praise. And presumably her social media presence earns money. That’s exploitation if the kids are the content.
Raise your children however you see fit, it’s not my business. But keep your business to yourself. Kids deserve an anonymous childhood.
She'll be popping the puppies out even on their 30th birthdays at this rate
😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly, the kids are to old for this. My question is why?
Jesus Loves You
Have a Blessed and Wonderful Night 😊
Pass!!! Also, if the thought of washing a sippy cup is just too much for you, you're in for a real treat with 2 young children smh
I love how suddenly everyone is an expert on breastfeeding
I support this Mom. There are many benefits to extended breastfeeding. These are great parents!
She’s doing a great job at being a mom to her kids no doubt. However, breastfeeding a 5 year old is just taking it too far regardless of any nutritional benefit involved. It’s almost as bad as letting your 5 year still wear diapers unless they’re have special needs that make it hard for them to become fully potty trained sooner. No hate I just find it very odd. Especially when the 5 year old is perfectly capable of drinking milk from a cup and eating normal food. I find it odd for the both of them but the older one especially. There’s a reason that people say, you’re too old for this and it rings true here as well.
I dont see anything wrong with this, let her parent and raise her kids the way she is doing it..... shes raising her kids right and thats all that matters ❤❤❤❤❤

The psychological issue can’t be good either for the child, they knowingly are breastfeeding at age 5 what the heck, hope the kid doesn’t get made fun of. Not to mention if they’re that old this is considered sexual abuse.
The specialists have stated this to be wrong? Please share your resources.
You owe nobody an explanation. You do what you know best
I’m shocked by all the ignorant comments. This is not hurting the children. Many other countries breastfeed longer than the US. Biologically we are probably meant to breastfeed longer than most people do.
Good for you Mom!! There are so many benefits to extended breastfeeding! Both of my children self-weaned. One at 3 yrs 7 months, the other at 3 yrs 5 months. 💜
Haters gonna hate- you do what feels best for your family.
Many people feel threatened by natural parenting and will lash out. I’m here to tell you Keep Going!!!
When I was asked (with attitude) “When are you going to stop breastfeeding?!” My reply was always “Well, when they go off to college, it’s going to be difficult- so maybe then.”
threatened pmsl
theres nothing natural, its about a mom that lets her kids decide for themselves cause she cant decide and probably like it herslef and cant dicipline
No, they are not threatened, they are disgusted and rightfully so.
🙄 this is more for mom than the kids.
God she's annoying. She's made breastfeeding a routine every morning, so obviously the kids won't stop suddenly. And she loves being needed. As parents, you can't be this selfish, gotta raise kids so they can lead independent lives. The husband is another loser.

Empowered? No thats not the word
So, there are mothers who do this and seem absurd. The jokes about dishes, sure, but at the end of the day? Charlotte is the first extended breast feeding mom who had made the choice make sense to me. As someone who will never breastfeed even if I have kids, I think what a mother does in terms of how long they breastfeed or if they even do, really doesn’t matter as much as people like to make it.
Her kids will slow down, they’ll stop eventually. My niece was breastfed for two years but still did it on and off for comfort until she was 3 1/2. She’s an amazing kid. The idea that a child would choose to breastfeed until college is absurd. With my niece the more she wanted to spend time with cousins and friends, the less she wanted to breastfeed. Similarly, as she became more independent and confident, she breastfed less, too.
Let parents comfort their kids. They’re eating, so it isn’t as though they’re lacking in nutrients.
I haven’t finished this yet. I tandem breastfed for little longer than this. I don’t have attachment issues. Never was weird at all it’s very very natural and my children never once thought was anything but comforting. I went insane last few thought bc I was very much over it by that time because that’s a long long time. I think it’s weird this video fits in between some actually strange videos it’s sad to think something that is so natural and beautiful. I never regret my decision and it didn’t negatively effect my children or our relationship….
Its okay, in the rural, most kids stop breastfeed later compare in town. People in town tends to ridicule everything because they are trying to guilt trip something they can't done. It's sad we hope for freedom in choice but judged instead. For me as long as it doesn't bring harm or hurt people around, it's fine
@@hoperissa4253 true! I’m so thankful my kids didn’t have to deal with all that being homeschooled but I can understand that
I think this is more about the MOM NOT WANTING TO LET GO OF THE BONDING EXPERIENCE THAT BREASTFEEDING BRINGS …..
What happens to the colostrum that a newborn needs? Wouldn't the older child get that before the newborn manages to? Do mothers have to stop feeding their older child for a while after birth so the new baby can have those first important newborn colostrum feeds?
I love the way you feed your children.
On one hand I say, do what works for you. But on the other hand, your kids, when they are in school, they WILL, unfortunately, be bullied without mercy. If you’re planning on homeschooling through 12th grade though, i don’t see a problem with it.
I seriously hope you plan to homeschool. Otherwise those bullies already have WAAAAY too much ammunition to devastate your children with all the videos you are posting. I would never have put my children on the internet with such private content, because I would be ignoring the extremely high chance that they would never agree to it. I totally understand what you’re saying and doing, because ONLY a mother knows what is right and healthy for her children, but thinking about the long term emotional, and mental health of posting this type of videos…that’s where I can’t agree, because of the potential for emotional distress.
What if they never wanna stop? Genuine question
Honestly, I literally thought women usually stop lactating milk 1 year after the birth? Because usually the child is completely onto soft solid foods by the time they turn 1 year.
They shouldn't be though. You can thank industrialized parenting for that. Food before 1 is just for fun and can be detrimental to the natural gut of not feeding the proper foods to begin with.
Nope, women will lactate as long as the child is being nursed. There are zero benefits to allowing this to happen beyond about a year old.
I have an open mind and I support breast feeding.
Anyway, breast feeding has no negative impact for anyone, so if someone does not like it, (s)he does not have to watch it. Everyone should organize theit life.
However, I have a feeling that many people just want to get more attention making self-advertisement.
So, as long as it good for children, why not..? But please do not force it for mother's popularity.
5 years old??? Alitle too old
Look at me look at me that’s all of this video is is just look at me. It has nothing to do about breast-feeding. It’s just selfishness.
