[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My baby weened of her own volition at 14 months and my friends who were really into breastfeeding told me I needed to trick her into continuing to breastfeed by withholding solid foods or never letting her have cow's milk.

I was sad when she started rejecting breastfeeding, and I also had a negative hormonal reaction (normal with cessation of breastfeeding at any time), but it felt like the natural course of things. It was so weird how I could accept it despite dealing with the hormonal challenges but other people viewed it as some kind of failure. I think for some people, stopping breastfeeding anytime before kindergarten, for any reason, is a sign of weakness. So bizarre.[/quote]

Withholding solid foods????? What in the ever loving..... I've always thought the breastfeeding community was off their rocker but this one takes the cake. [/quote]

Look, there are lots of crazy people out there who are militant about things. As long as children and animals are not harmed I try to stay away and not judge too much. Who cares what some rando Karen thinks. Refocus yourself. [/quote]
