Talk:Extended breastfeeding

This Article Is Not Neutral

The psychological effects section is extremely biased. It quotes only lactivists, stating opinions as fact. This is against Neutral Point of View. Wikipedia articles should not be propaganda for anybody's agenda. DragonflyDance (talk) 14:56, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

I would agree. The section should be critically revised. --Minihaa (talk) 19:28, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Taboo act

It is stated that "extended breastfeeding is a taboo act". I don't agree that extended breastfeeding is regarded as taboo. It may be regarded as unusual, but that is a different matter. Only in America could breastfeeding be considered taboo, under any circumstances.Royalcourtier (talk)
