No need to get defensive ladies, I was simply trying to explain what the doctors have said because I know the reasons why they say the things they do... Your free to breastfeed however long you would like and no one is to judge you... I dont think anyone was telling Karen to cut off breastfeeding her son cold turkey either. I believe I said gradually start giving more solids and less bfing?
This is why I hate getting into debates with breastfeeding moms, it seems people feel the need to get snippy and defensive about it. There is no need. Good grief, can people not read a reply without getting all, "well I cant believe you would suggest that blah blah blah".
Breastfed babies get sick just as much as ff babies, so claiming the need for anti-bodies after 12 months is not true. And yes after 6 months babies do need solid foods. After a year that should be their main source of nutrition.
Im sure Karen can read these replies and take away what she would like and in the end she is going to do what she feels is the right thing.
