Nanny encouraging me to wean toddler!

I nursed Dd until she was 3.
Keep doing what you know is best for your child. The two of you will know when it is time to stop.

How did you both know when it was time to stop?

There is not a rule as to when to wean. That said, there are parents who blame their child for ending early or late. It is a choice made between two. Sometimes one gets more out of it longer than the other.

I cannot believe people are so judgmental (an inaccurate in their judgement). I would tell your nanny that you have heard her opinion but that you plan to continue breastfeeding until either you or your child are ready to stop. The end.

That breast milk is bad and cows milk is good was not said my one person on this thread.

We have no clue if or why this nanny is encouraging weaning this toddler. It may simply be that it makes her job more difficult if nursing is the only way he can be consoled or if it isn’t eating or drinking enough.

Everyone needs to calm down.
