Oddly enough, when I was pregnant with my son, I went to a more holistic style pregnancy center for the birthing classes and such. One of the advisors there actually discussed this. Personally, I couldn't get past the ick factor of it in my own mind. (Could have something to do with my really squeamish nature relating to food/textures/etc.) Then again, this lady also still breastfed her 1st grader. I was slightly freaked out when he got off the school bus, set down his backpack, walked into the room where we were sitting and just lifted her shirt and latched on. She said that she believed it was beneficial to them up until they were around 3rd grade age. I could probably have understood it better if it had been expressed into a container, rather than a child that age reading a book while nursing.
*Simply my opinion only, at the time. Not judging their methods which probably work fine and are very beneficial to their children, just was not for me.*
