• Umm, well I certainly didn't take my daughter's opinion in mind when deciding to breastfeed my son.  But then, she was breastfed.  Actually, she still is (yeah yeah, bash if you want, I'm an "extended" breastfeeder, who cares?  She doesn't do it in public so you'll never see her nurse!).  So I guess in essense it would seem silly to deny my newborn baby breastmilk while still nursing my daughter, right?  LOL!  Actually to be honest, there's been times where that's the ONLY thing keeping me from weaning him, LOL.  But I do want to continue.  It's just too dang convenient.  But I couldn't care less what someone else does with their child.  Both of mine have recieved formula at one point or another in their lives.

  Sounds like your sister thought you were going to go off on her for not bfing, so she made up some excuse, and it backfired on her.  I doubt her son would really care either way.  It's not like he'd remember being breastfed or bottle fed at that age.  It's not a decision to be left up to an older sibling.  It's a PARENTING decision, just like whether to co-sleep or crib-sleep, what to name the child, whether to go back to work or be a SAHM, etc.

  sounds like she is feeling guilty about her decision!

  Yeah I think she does feel guilty about not breastfeeding her eldest. What was weird was when I breastfed my kids and she would make comments about wanting to do it when she had another baby. Minds do change though.

  It's under Fallen Princesses. I have some pics on my profile. It's pretty cool stuff. A little bit sad though.

•  My son is 4.5 years old and he and I had a breastfeeding conversation. I was in no way asking his permission but explaining why his sister will be "sucking on my boobie" as he says when she is born... I think it is rediculas to ask "permission" from your child to breast feed another, Hell I didnt even make that decision with my dh...

  Your sisterneeds to grow up and be 38! is she going to ask her oldest permission for every decision she makes for the baby becasue he may not have gotten to do it?? Weird!

  Summer. Wifey to Tyler, Momma to London Scott and Clarity Diane. The three that make me whole, the three that complete me.

  *sigh* No clue when it comes to my sister. I don't think I'm gonna try and bring the subject up again. She is considering staying at home with the next baby...which she didn't do with her 9 year old. LOL

  It's quite possible she is since he told me that he didn't care.
