"Orangutans nurse their babies for an exceptionally long time, typically 6 to 8 years, with some individuals nursing for even longer, up to 9 years. This extended nursing period is the longest among all non-human mammals.

Orangutan mothers nurse their young for significantly longer than other primates, including chimpanzees (around 5 years) and gorillas (around 4 years).

Orangutans don't have a strict weaning schedule. They may nurse less frequently as they begin to eat solid foods, but then resume nursing more frequently if other food sources become scarce.

Due to the long nursing period, female orangutans only give birth every 7 to 9 years, which is also the longest birth interval for any land mammal."

Interesting! I think its so fucked up, ka pasaule neiedroshina mammas ziidiit beernus, un ilgi, as part of default mothering requirement, un way past 2-3 years.

Es to protams, nekad neteiktu sejaa savaam mom friends, bet tad, kad man kaada mamma staasta, ka "well, i just really wanted my boobs back" vai "it was too stressful" vai "i just don't have the time".. Girl, that's not good enough and you know it! So you had a child and you already can't be bothered? No vienas puses es sparotu, ka shiis mammas nezina neko par what bfeeding is, what human milk is, and what nursing from a mom does to a child, as opposed to drinking chemical mix from a plastic bottle and sucking on a piece of rubber for comfort. To es pati arii reaali iemaaciijos tikai lasot un klausoties lietas, maybe 1 year in? Bet why wouldn't you bother looking up info and prioritizing your child over convenience? I thought that's what motherhood is about.
