@OmarKei73523142: โThis past the limit. Woman should breastfeed her child for only two years, according to the Quran. Anything beyond that is something else. My question is, canโt the boy survive without being breastfeeded as his age?โ
@ibrameek: โThis could not be his mother, they could be couple, she looks young to born his type.โ
