It seems that something as natural as breastfeeding is subject to the conditions imposed by the society to which one belongs, because breastfeeding. For example, when you talk about a nursing mother from Africa who breastfeeds her 3-year-old son, nothing happens and we all understand it because she has no more food to offer her son. On the other hand, when a cosmopolitan mother has a good financial situation, we are alarmed when we see a woman on the street breastfeeding her 3-month-old or 3-year-old child, why does this happen?
First I want to start from the base that the breastfeeding is a mother's choice and that this cannot and should not be touched. But there are those who are trying to find out whether or not breastfeeding at these ages helps the secure connection between mother and child. Something I have to say, that without doing any research, I do not know of any child who, because of prolonged breastfeeding and adequate emotional education at home, has suffered any kind of emotional dependence or something similar from having been breastfed until the mother That is how he saw it appropriate, since what really matters is the education and emotional intelligence that is taught at home, from my point of view.
Breastfeeding helps improve bonding and feeling of security that a mother can transmit to a child, since when it is a baby, it depends exclusively on its mother and father, but in the case of breastfeeding, more on the mother.
But I also have to point out that if you cannot breastfeed your child for whatever reasons, you do not have to feel remorse or guilt for it, since it is a very personal choice and that sometimes breastfeeding should be dispensed with. against the mother's wish. Likewise, it should be said that the feeling of security can also be transmitted to the baby with other signs of affection and affection, while the baby is hugged and warm by both the mother and the father. In both cases, the objective is to transmit security to the baby and that it develop a well-organized mental structure, and it should always be supported with a correct education from respect and affection.
