For me as soon as my kids could bite me on purpose or at all really I stopped. How about you?
As far as nursing a 20 month old i it were my child and she were hungry or fussy, yes I would nurse at a restaurant. I think it's no one else's business what you are doing with your child if it's not hurting the child. Long term bf has benefits and if it works for the mother and child, who are you to say any different?
I did not nurse my kids but I do think its awesome, I have absolutely nothing against it, it just wasnt for me. That being said I think some women take it way too far. YES, its way better than formula and gives their little bodies a boost BUT its not necessary to live. I think anything after 2 is just wierd. Thats the best word I can think of to describe how I think about it. I dont mean in any kin of sexual way or anything like that, its just weird. The child, by age 2, is well into walking and talking, I hope drinking out of a cup and not a bottle and eating solid food. There is no need for them to still be nursing. Im sure thats not going to be a popular opinion but its how I feel.
My son is 4 and carrying on full adult conversations and is like a tiny adult, I cant even imagine putting him to my boob, ****shivers****
my daughter is 22 months and i still breastfeed her....if we ar in public and she asks i just tell her when we get home....i dont think their is anything wrong with her still breastfeeding
i say a mom can bf as long as she wants. i really don't get why it's anyone's business how long a mother bf her child.
i stopped bfing at 3 or 4mos but that's because dd wasn't eating properly on my boob and was really underweight so i switched to pumping instead.
my daughter is 3 and still nursing, she mostly nurses right before bed and early in the morning. If she asks to nurse while we are out I tell her when we get home and she is find with that. I think that mom in the restaurant did nothing wrong; she was nursing a fussy baby not flashing her self to anyone. I think people should just mind their own and if it bothers them they just need to look the other way :0)
