After all, the term ‘full-term breastfeeding’ is hardly innocent of implying that there’s a ‘right’ and a ‘wrong’ way to do things. What does that term imply to women who didn’t nurse past infancy – that their breastfeeding didn’t run for the full term, and hence was insufficiently long? That there was something premature about when they stopped? Is it really appropriate to be implying anything potentially judgemental, with our language, about something that should be an individual choice?

I have been laughed at, felt uncomftable and even told that I’m making myself ill B.F for this long. Ok, I’m a little low on Iron, but ive always been pale!

Why dont people see that this is NORMAL and they are the weird ones?????

Some kids have dummys til they are 5, how is that more acceptable than B.F?

I see some kids drinking squash out of a babies bottle at 5, how is this OK, and B.F an infant 20 month old not?

They are the weird ones, not me “US”.

I shall, however, conceal our B.F moments infront of such family and friends so as not to feel uncomftable or have to justify what I have chosen to do for my son!

I just wrote about full-term/”extended” breastfeeding. My son will be two years old in one week and I can’t even imagine weaning.
Thanks for the chuckle this morning!

I admit, when I first started breastfeeding I didn’t want to breastfeed beyond the first year. But within a couple of months I decided that I will let my daughter decide when she’s ready to quit. It’s not causing any strain on us and hasn’t the entire 8 months we’ve been doing it. I don’t see any problems arising in the future (fingers crossed.)
