minor spelling and formatting, more descriptive title, added behavior-tag since it's that type of question (Is it normal...?) and behavior is also involved (hand under shirt)

There have been times and cultures where people would not see a live question. | |

| Oct 23, 2017 at 19:46 | comment | added | Stephie♦ | Just a comment because Rory's answer covers most points: Note that skin-on-skin contact is very comforting for a baby or child and has absolutely no sexual connotation. Your breasts are for him just a part of your body, perhaps more interesting than others because they are the source of nutrition and comfort, soft to touch and easy to reach when nursing or being held. | |
| Oct 23, 2017 at 19:41 | comment | added | Stephie♦ | @rexkogitans I disagree, speaking from experience with two bf children (>2 years each). Both reached a point where they chose to stop without me actively weaning them. | |

| Oct 23, 2017 at 16:02 | comment | added | user26578 | Anytime you find yourself stressing over your child's behavior as not being in line with "the norm" you need to stop and check yourself. Nine times out of ten these things are no big deal. Every kid is different. As long as he's not breastfeeding by the time he leaves for college, he'll be fine. Gently coax him towards the behavior you want to see and don't sweat it if he takes his own time getting there. | |
| Oct 23, 2017 at 14:40 | comment | added | rexkogitans | He never learnt that he can do differently. No longer breastfeeding is something that you have to teach him - smoothly but persistently. He won't say: "Please, gimme fork, knife and spoon, because I want to feed on my own." | |
| Oct 23, 2017 at 14:33 | comment | added | Mark Rogers | My son used to breastfeed around this age, we stopped having him breastfeed shortly after that. Its slightly unusual but not much really, I wouldn't be too worried unless its causing problems for you. | |
