'MUMMY MILK': U.K. mom who breastfed daughter until age 9 said it's created lifelong bond
There are many things that forge lifelong bonds between mother and child. In the case of a British woman, the bond between her and her nine-year-old daughter was created through extended breastfeeding. Sharon Spink, a mother-of-four from Sherburn-in-Elmet, North Yorkshire in Great Britain, said she nursed her youngest daughter, Charlotte, up until eight weeks ago, when she no longer yearned for “mummy milk.” According to the Daily Mail, Spink said breastfeeding her girl has created a strong bond because she has good health thanks to the milk’s nutrients. The 50-year-old mother admits she’s been criticized for breastfeeding an older child, with some believing it’s a form of child abuse.
