My wife knew a very alternative couple who breast fed their son until well
after the age where he was able to walk up to his mother, say "I'm hungry",
undo her blouse and help himself. Eugh indeed!

Although don't rely on this as a method of contraception. When my son was
born one of the other mothers in hospital had just popped out her 12th
child (probably more "fell out when she uncrossed her legs" I would have
thought after 11 kids) in about 14 years. Apparently most of them were
breast fed until fairly late on and there were many pregnancy/breastfeeding
overlaps.
