This is a question Helicopter Parents

Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.

Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

This isn't as stupid as it sounds.
Women in Papua breast feed their children untill the age of seven. It's one of the poorest places in the world, and healthcare is practically non-existant, yet they have very low rates of infant mortality

How does breast feeding a seven year old affect infant mortality?
Does the nutrition go backwards in time to when the child was an infant and make them healthier in the past?

Because...
breast milk is proved to boost the child's immune system, which is why there's so much arty-farty talk and pressure on mums to do it.
Not saying I agree with this woman's ideas though, this IS slighty sick.

Still doesn't explain why breast feeding a 7 year old stops them dying in the past as an infant.
By about 3 or 4 most healthy childrens' immune systems are fully developed, regardless of what they have been fed on.
