How old is too old?<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s an issue that polarises the country. How old is too old, when it comes to breastfeeding your child?<\/p>\n

The benefits of breast milk are widely known, and strongly encouraged when it comes to adding necessary nutrients to your child\u2019s diet.  But one Byron Bay mother has come under fire for still feeding her daughter, who is school-aged at six-years-old.<\/p>\n

Maha Al Musa, 52, \u201cproudly gives her daughter milk whenever she needs it,\u201d she told The Daily Mail. <\/p>\n

The Aussie mum also believes that the benefits of beast milk are so powerful, that she has chosen not to immunise her child as she doesn\u2019t see a need for it.  <\/p>\n

An avid Facebook promoter of the practice, Al Musa posts pics regularly of her out in public as she feeds her daughter \u201cnaturally,\u201d and see\u2019s such practice as normal.<\/p>\n

\u201c4-8 (years) is NORMAL age for self weaning, \u201d she says. <\/p>\n

Daughter Aminah doesn\u2019t see what the fuss is all about either.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my favourite thing to do when I\u2019m not at school\u2026 i might stop when I\u2019m eight,\u201d she explains. <\/p>\n

More surprisingly though, is that Aminah admits that her tasty afternoon treat \u201ctastes a lot like candy canes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where do you stand on the issue?<\/p>\n
