Cthulhu will one day rise up to claim the Earth and its inhabitants as his own. The Great Old One has looked upon Humankind and found it lacking. Cthulhu has deemed it necessary to prepare Humankind for his coming Thus, Cthulhu now answers humanity's questions to help them better themselves. Dear Cthulhu, I am constantly being criticized by friends and even strangers for breastfeeding my son in public. They all try to tell me he's too old. I think it is up to the mother when she stops breastfeeding her kids. Besides, he just won't take the formula. I've tried and he doesn't like it.

Maintain that with a breast pump for a while longer and you may be able to feed your grandchildren as well.
