    CHARLOTTE tandem breastfeeds her five-year-old daughter and two-year-old son. Charlotte told truly: “Tandem breastfeeding is when you breastfeed multiple children - generally two... You can either breastfeed them together at the same time or one at a time.” After initial struggles with breastfeeding her daughter Reyce Anne due to a latching issue, the mother-of-two decided she would stop breastfeeding when her daughter is ready. She breastfed through her pregnancy with her son Malachi and started tandem breastfeeding the day she gave birth to him. Charlotte said: “My dream is to let my children decide when to stop.” The health and wellness coach decided to share her story online to support other people who are breastfeeding but she has also received negativity. Commenters say it’s ‘unhealthy’, question why she’s still breastfeeding her kids at their age and even say she gets ‘sexual pleasure’ from it. But Charlotte is determined to continue sharing her story to help and inspire others. She said: “One day my children will stop breastfeeding… I hope they can look back on what Mom did and be inspired and proud as she shared her journey with integrity and love to support other moms.”

      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.

      Full term breastfeeding occurs anywhere from typically 2 to 5 years of age. A special needs child will probably need more. Just look up typical duration of breastfeeding of other mammals as a clue. Yes we are also mammals believe it or not. These kids may be made fun of but they will have a special bond with their mother that 99% of us will never understand. Independence? Humans are meant to depend on each other.
      Throughout the anthropology literature, the following benchmarks have all been used as possible markers for the “normal” length of lactation:
      *Age at which the infant reaches four times their birth weight. In humans, this happens at 2-3 years.
      *Age at six times the length of gestation (4.5 years of age).
      *Age when molars first erupt (usually years or older).
      *Age when all of the baby teeth have fallen out (5-6 years or even later).

    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

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.

    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.

      @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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    • @coyotedust
      @coyotedust 6 місяців тому +2

      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.

    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.

    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.

      @@richbrady2019 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.

    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.

    The kids are happy, obviously live well, the parents are together and supportive of each other - isnt this what society asks of parents? They're present and playing with two happy looking kids. Leave em be.
