It's in the article. 16 and 18 months. And YES, they do look older than that.

All my mine nursed until they were about 2.5 years old, so I have no hangups about breastfeeding. But, I never really felt the need to make a public "statement" of it by posting pictures of it on the internets; it comes across as a tad narcissistic. Breastfeeding is normal and natural; there is no need to cover up or hide in a bathroom stall... but for the sake of my children's privacy, my future employment prospects, and maybe a wee bit of paranoia over fetish websites, I kept my fun bags off of the web.

Trust me, this is not your typical ''wet nurse''.

These kids are WAY too old to be suckling and the leer on this chick's face is disturbing, to put it mildly.
I don't get the impression she is leering, I get the impression she looks like someone who likes to make private things public and she is sharing. Typical way a person looks toda.

Why did they take a picture and run to the news with this? Attention?

First off,hello I'm new here I agree with you on the age of the children. Also for some reason when I first looked at the photo of her with the two boys I got the distinct impression that all is not as they say. That there is some sort of umm..."relationship" with the 3 or is it four people. The boys look much older in the very first picture than they do in the others. They are about 3 or 4 in the very first picture. Sorry if I've offended anyone. I breastfed all 3 of mine until they were 18 months old. And there IS an age that it becomes inappropriate to continue. Such as the lady a few months ago breastfeeding here 7 or 8 year old son,while eh stood on a stool in front of her.This was on a magazine,can't remember which one though.

Some people use the internet to change people's perceptions. I see nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, some people have changed their minds about breastfeeding because of those narcissists.
