[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here-

It was totally inappropriate and disrespectful for your nanny to roll her eyes at you. Your body, your baby, your choice.

However, I think now it's time to wean and tryouts are breastfeeding for you not your kid. But that's really none of my business and if you want to breastfeed until your child is 5 then have a good time. How is this affecting the nanny's life??[/quote]

We don’t know how it is affecting the nanny’s job.  Maybe the toddler can’t fall asleep without nursing; maybe the toddler doesn’t eat enough depending on breastmilk and is cranky; maybe the child is slow to speak or has palate issues due to extended and extensive nursing; maybe the toddler is a hot hungry mess waiting for mom to come home to nurse.

Having been a nanny to an extended nursing mother once, there were definite issues nursing an older child caused since there was nothing I could do to replace his mother’s breasts.  Extended nursery are generally bad at self soothing since they use nursing for comfort.  [/quote]
