ive just been talking to a new friend i met when i saw his band and hes just been telling me about his wife breastfeeding after reading my facebook status (being looked at funny for still pretty much 100% breastfeeding still) and his wife breast fed all 4 of his children untill they were three and none of them have ever had anything wrong with them! no hosp trips nothing! the oldest is 23!

[Mervs Mum]

Eh!!! She's still so little!!! I just started getting it....my friend asked me if it was 'weird' now she's big.... and OH's mates wife followed me inside when we were at cricket - I went in to feed as it was chilly and she sat next to me and said 'are you still feeding her yourself??? Yeah! 'Oh.......right......' She looked at me like I was latching her onto a crack pipe......

what both of your babies are so tiny, mine is 10 months and no one gives me any looks about it, and im carrying on at least til a year but probably more.

Still? at 4 months? OMG, what are you supposed to be feeding her? I have only had one still comment, and oddly it came from another BFIng mother with a much younger baby. I just said 'oh yes, there are loads of benefits to extended nursing' and moved on.

 

[milkmachine]

yeah... she is quite big.... in 6-9month clothes so maybe thats why???

whaaat? your little one is still so young though! I plan to get to at least a year, but hopefully two!! And who knows? three might be there too I was an extended BF baby, I really don't see why people have such a big fuss over it.. I mean we have human babies, and so why shouldn't they drink the milk that is properly suited for them?
