I think you are wrong about the implications, but I also don't fully understand what the 'attachment parenting' that is described in the article entails, so I might be out to lunch.

Actually my post had less to do with breastfeeding for long periods on its own, but more of the other typical behaviours of attachment parenting. The child being strapped to a parent 24/7, sleeping in the parents bed and never in their own, jumping to every single cry (literally, every single cry), not allowing them to have independent play via helicopter parenting where the child goes more then a foot away and they panic, leash children, etc.
Ironically, breastfeeding until they are 10 would probably be the least harmful of these behaviours and yet the one most focused on.
And Puxlut, I'm completely with you on your statement about breastfeeding. I think many women feel the same way but its stigmatized to make those sort of statements when it comes to your children.
