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'.
She says she has no plans to stop and as long as her daughter wishes to continue then she will too.
Even if her daughter wants to still breastfeed at the age of 10.
