I know we have these moments too, I just forget to remember them sometimes.<br /><br />I am starting to get "the question" too and he is only 10 months. I have no intention of stopping in the foreseeable future unless he wants to. I struggle with knowing what to say. Something that politely communicates "We'll stop when we are good and ready, so mind your own business.

Before I had Mira I aimed for six months of breastfeeding. For some reason I imagined breastfeeding as a trying thing I would do because it was the right thing to do. Now, as six months is nearing, I can't imagine wanting to stop.AShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588317658803614789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511988469719165869.post-83788995015659941952012-03-14T11:32:41.335-04:002012-03-14T11:32:41.335-04:00I absolutely agree.

What else did I carry these sacks of flesh around my entire life for? LOL. Of course, mine aren't much use anyway... but it wasn't for lack of trying. I am so glad you've been able to nurse an adopted baby. My sister just adopted a 2 year old from Ethiopia, and she actually considered trying to start BFing. But it was too much work, and she's had a breast reduction. But the bond... I'm jealous of the bond.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120459484825947654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7511988469719165869.post-60835003860287827482012-03-13T20:05:24.985-04:002012-03-13T20:05:24.985-04:00I so wish I had support in nursing our son!

I love the idea of nursing well into toddlerhood, and it also struck me as odd how Americans are appalled by older children nursing. It's so natural, how did we ever get to think that it's only for "babies"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
