Time To Stop Suckling

A: I'm trying to imagine the shiver that might go through your entire family if your brother ever hosts a brunch at his home and his new wife passes around the cream for the coffee. At the risk of bringing down the wrath of La Leche League, 5 years old is way too old to still be on mommy's breast. By the time the kid can say, "Mom, you've been eating too much garlic and it's upsetting my stomach," you know it's time to throw away the nursing bra. Showing too much cleavage to your new husband's family would be ill-advised the first time you all met. Lactating at the dessert table takes inappropriate to a new level. You say your brother "does not seem to care much" about this, which doesn't make clear what kind of conversation you've had with him. You need to say, "Bro, we're so happy you've found Fiona. We're sorry her son has food allergies, but we need to let you know we all have a dairy allergy. That is, we'd appreciate if you'd ask her to breast feed in private." If he won't take action, then at the next gathering, as she starts to unbutton, all of you should feel free to stampede away from the table. Let's hope for her son's sake she finds him a milk substitute. It would be bad for him socially is she had to come and give him nourishment to get him through his SATs.
