Breastfeeding during a flight...

[Ethel mermania]

You are aware that sucking during altitude changes helps equalize the pressure in a baby s ear and well help it not feel as much pain and therefore cry less?

If only things existed that weren't boobs.

This site would lose half its posters.

Breastfeeding a 3 year old? Ewww.

34 months. I know, right?

I mean I am all for breastfeeding an infant, and as mentioned on a plane flight it's a good idea. But i am not seeing how that's good for the kid at that age. It's bad for the kids teeth. It encourages too much dependence on the mother.

Are you a pediatrician?

How about this bring a cover and if need be put it over yourself. That way you can stay in your seat and have some privacy. Also for all of those complaining about baby's crying... grow up and get some earphones which are around 10 dollars. I mean a flight ticket cost on average around 379 if you can afford that I think you can afford some earphones.

Babies should be fully weaned by about 12 months. It also increases the risk of allergies developing if the child is not introduced to a range of solid foods in the first 3 years of life.

Only a pediatrician knows what rots kids teeth? Good to know.

No more than giving them cow milk to drink would.

And you know the child is not also eating solid foods how?

You can read all you want about what *can* rot teeth, or when a baby should be weaned, but only the kid's pediatrician (or dentist, in the case of teeth specifically) would know if the kid is suffering ill effects from not being weaned. The "12 months" rule is largely arbitrary. Some need weaning sooner, some can still be feeding later with proper care.

No. With a breast or a bottle the liquid tends to stay in the mouth of the child for longer periods of time, and the sugars have more time to eat at the teeth. Same thing with fruit juices in bottles for toddlers, you want to move them to cups (even sippy cups) as soon as they are ready.

I don't remember if my kids were cup only by 3, but it was around then we phased out the bottles.

Dentists??? How many toddlers go to dentists?

I took a flight to see mine.

Wait...

Yeah that shows Ethel for diagnosing this child with tooth decay. I guess? Only a doctor could say if the kid was suffering the ill effects of smoking but you don't exactly need to be a professional to say "well that's a problem."

In the UK, all of them. Gets them used to the environment while they're still young and allows the dentists to give good advice to parents.

They even send out automatic 6 monthly appointments for kids that age.

Ban aeroplanes.

Ban babies. There are too many humans on this planet anyway.

Really for age 3? Now i am going to have to ask Mrs mermania. I know they still had their baby teeth but I thought much older.

Teeth are teeth. And good habits instilled at age 2-3 last for life.

It's a cost saving measure for the NHS in the long run.

[Engleberg]

Saw the title as “breastfeeding during a fight” and was going to question why someone would do that.

As for a solution, why not just let them go to the back of the plane and do it?

Because it is fucking weird if the child is simultaneously breastfeeding and is on solid foods.

As an aside, yes.

Hell, both mine went in when they had their full set of baby teeth to check and make sure things were ok. Even baby teeth can get cavities and do need cleaning.

According to the article, the kid breast feeds in the morning and before bed. Also when she wants it if she is sick or upset about something.

And she is also on sold food.

It's not a bad idea.

And Google says I should take back my bitch about infants and dentists. Almighty Google says first tooth. And I damm well know we did it later than that. They both had mouths full.

No. As you start solids they are still getting most of their nutrition from the milk.

I know they went in with baby teeth, but it was with a full set, i don't remember the age, I do remember bitching about a baby cavity. As it was at adult cavity pricies.
