If you agree with the content of this video and hope that more people watch this, please comment on and rate this video, as this is how the video shows up in more searches and gains momentum.

The two paintings in the film are original works of art by Emily Balivet (artist and formerly nursing mother). http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=30030

The first song is "look out young son" by Grand Ole Party.
The second song is "you're a wolf" by Sea Wolf.

These nursing photos were used with the permission of the mothers.

This video not only, just begins to show the ignorance widespread regarding this topic but more importantly, only scratches the surface of the importance of extended breastfeeding.
Please open your mind.

  • Thank you for ...

    Thank you for making this video! My 3 year old daughter still nurses, and she has friends that are 4 who are still nursing, so this is entirely normal and accepted and dare I say, expected, in our circle of friends. I wish I could say the same for other moms, and I hope that videos such as this will dispel myths and misinformation.

  • Narrow minded ...

    Narrow minded people never cease to amaze me. I do NOT want this to degrade into this discussion. This is about breastfeeding NOT politics/religion, although I do believe that the personal is political!

    Please keep your judgments to yourself, I'm sure there are aspects of your "lifestyle" that I would find appalling.

    Thank you so much for all your hard work! The average time for breastfeeding, worldwide is 4.2 years. It makes sense for every woman to make her own choice as to how long she and her child would like to breastfeed, hopefully without judgement. My daughter weaned herself at 2.5 years, and my 16 month old will nurse until he is done.

  • There was, in my ...

    There was, in my store, a lady (seem to be ill in the head) breast feeding what seemed to be a 3-4 year old. My manager asked her to leave, cause this was taking place on a bench in front of the store. She comes in and is a very odd and strange person....Another time she LET her older son reach into her pants while I was cutting cheese for her.
