And she has no plans on stopping.
We’ve all seen the controversial magazine covers. We have all read the extended breastfeeding debate. And we all know the inevitable uproar whenever any topic like attachment parenting is criticised, or whenever co-sleeping or controlled crying or bottle-feeding or the use of pacifiers is discussed.
So it’s almost surprising that women like Maha Al Musa are still making headlines. You would kind of think we’d all have gotten over it by now.
But no. Today’s issue of Woman’s Day magazine features an interview with Maha that has spawned fresh stories of breathless shock.
In the story, her daughter Aminah tells the magazine, “Sometimes it tastes like candy canes. It tastes like a lot of different things.”
Because the fact of the matter is that in today’s society, extended breastfeeding IS unusual – and Maha Al Musa ISN’T your ordinary mother.
Aside from being 52 years old and having her third child when she turned 46, Maha Al Musa is a belly dancing guru – a doula – a ‘human rights activist’ and probably what she is best known for – a breastfeeding mother.
Possibly right now you are wondering more about the belly dancing than the breastfeeding. Well that’s because the unusual part of this hasn’t been made clear just yet.
Maha Al Musa is an advocate of extended breastfeeding, which she likes to call ‘continual breastfeeding’.

is she still in nappies too?
How sad to see so many women be so judgmental! The biggest problem I see with mothers breastfeeding is that "people" think it is inappropriate if they don't cover up because no one wants to see their boob. Right because it is only appropriate to see a boob when it is a sexual situation in a movie or on a tv show etc. The reason we have breasts is to feed our children yet so many people just don't get that and it really pisses me off to see so many women be so ignorant with their comments about it, way to stand together and people wonder why in the US women are not viewed as equals to men especially when it comes to being paid the same amount for doing the same job as man. Quit the hating on other women, it is just sad!
Go search "breastfeed" in any porn site you will know why normal people be judgmental about it..
