My own opinion, I have noticed that breastfeeding has a great effect
to our children especially emotions and health.

I have been lucky enough to know several women who breastfed their
children longer than 2 years.
I agree with you that breastfeeding has a great effect -- a very
positive effect! -- on children, but I've seen more exceptionally
TALENTED kids, --talented in the arts!-- on account of long-term
breastfeeding.

And I mean -- in some cases -- VERY long term! .

The ONLY POSSIBLE criticism I MIGHT make about VERY long-term
breastfeeding is the fact that it could lead to a life-long dependency
by the children for the mother, more dependency than is normal in
Western society. But look at Western society! Parents throw away
their children, and children late throw away their parents. Almost
anything would be an improvement over THAT, wouldn't it? Why is it
necessarily considered to be so BAD for children to love, trust, and
depend upon their mothers parents? Who made up THAT idea? Dads?

Even a very dependent child may possibly be a big advantage ---to the
mother! Because a dependent child may be able to help take care of
her in her old age, rather than being in a big rush to put the old
lady into a nursing home where she soon dies, like most kids seem
"Okay with" these days! Not every child HAS to be super-independent
or super-successful, either. Those goals are turning out to be
Hollywood myths -- mere urban legends!
