[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  Lots of judgment here (not that I wasn't expecting it).

First, I think breastfeeding a toddler or older in public is just asking for trouble.

But I also think there are quite a lot of small minded posters making lots of assumptions as to why anybody would breastfeed past 12 months.

I breastfed my two sons until 6-7 months.

My youngest (a girl) is still nursing at 25 months.  To be perfectly honest, I pretty much hate it, but she is really really attached.  I am a WOHM and so the only time she nurses is at night.  And not every night either.  I truly don't get anything out of it other than wanting to comfort my daughter.  I've tried to wean a number of times.  In fact, I even went away for 3 nights (had to pump a few times) and thought she'd be done.  Nope.  And so there it is.  I don't nurse in public and I don't think I'm somehow ruining my daughter.  For whatever reason, she just isn't ready to wean.

So for all the haters - tell me why I should wean her other than that it seems "gross" or "weird" to you.  It is natural for her and while I personally am getting very sick of it, I am not ready for that fight with her...[/quote]

Thanks for being an (almost lone) voice of reason on this thread.[/quote]
