I am the mother of a 7 year old who was, alas,
weaned from the breast all to soon at six months of age (due to an
uninformed mama, I am sad to say). However, breastfeeding is now a part of
his existence as he accompanies me on after hour home visits, at times.
He has always known that breasts are for feeding
babies and now that dh and I are discussing having a second child, my son
has been asking a lot of questions about breastfeeding. The most common one
is "Will I be able to taste the baby-milk too?" My response to him was
"Sure Sweetie". Then he replied "Well, I'll think about it." I think his
concern is more with sharing Mom with a new baby.
I agree with Katherine that it is not the age of the
child that matters but the relationship between mother and child.

Whose 7 year old recently said "You know "Mommy, I
really like the way women's breasts look in their breast holders."
(bra's)...no kidding!
