Re: Benefits of bfing beyond 1 year?

by heather k&s Mon Oct 01, 2007 3:10 pm

i beastfed both my daughters the first stopped just before her 3rd birthday was tandem feeding

and my second daughter is still going strong ...shes 34months and dont think shes any intentions of stopping

some days she only on me once other days shes like a newborn wanting bfed all the time which can be exhausting even trying to distract her

most of my friends children stopped before a year and think it weird that i carried on as long ...

good luck and well done for coming this far

i decided thats what i wanted it was amazing how many people were horrified at me breastfeeding aaron more than a year but i said stuff them its what i want not them however aaron chose to stop it by biting me at 16 months i decided after i got a nasty infection where he bit me that was it.
