A some people look at me like a Are you crazy other people get a real charge out of  dear Abby i am 33 years old and have been Reading your column for As Long As i can remember. The letter from a grossed out grandma prompts my first letter to you. Grandma was amazed and upset that her 3-year-old granddaughter was still breast fed. Abby you arc sure to get a lot of mail on this subject so please pick the Best ones and educate the Public. Breast milk is what nature intended for babies to drink. Women have breasts primarily to nourish their offspring. There is nothing Gross about it. What i find distressing is the number of mothers who breast feed for Only a few weeks or months a or not at All. Instead they feed their babies Man made formulas that rank a Distant second in their capacity to nourish. No dear Abby to mention the expense of formula and bottles and the time it takes to sterilize them. The convenience of breast milk can to be beat. Its always the right temperature always available no bottles to sterilize and there a nothing to pack or carry on outings. I fail to understand Why anyone can be a grossed out at something that is so natural. Also this notion that a child can become a too attached to its Mother baffles me. What else should a baby be attached to by the Way i have two children. The oldest is now 4, and nursed until he was 3 years old. The youngest is 2, and still nurses two to three times a Day. Incidentally i am a registered nurse working part time. Thanks for listening. I feel As though i am talking to an old Friend. Dear Abby pro breast feeding i done to care what the la leche league says i agree with a grossed out grandma a nursing a 3-year-old child is absolutely disgusting i have two children. They were both weaned before their first birthday. I just can to stomach the idea 01 breast feeding a preschooler. In my opinion a Enno who has a full set of Teeth and can walk talk count Ana ride a tricycle has no business still nursing its Mother. A in a no cow in Colorado dear Abby a a. Count me As one Reader who is a grossed out at the attitude of a grossed out grandma. A. Instead of being revolted by the sight of her Daugn Ter in Law nursing her 3-year-old grandchild. Sae should acquaint herself with the benefits of lon8�?~� nursing among which Are natural immunities to a Nosi of diseases Ana reduced chances of developing Aier Gies. It promotes dental health and emotional Security. Breast feeding a child for three years takes time patience and genuine unselfishness. Its much easier shove a bottle in a child a Mouth a especially when in child has a Mouthful of Teeth. Ouch believe me i kno a happily nursing in Kentucky c untversa1 press Syndicate
