While out with a friend this afternoon who has a 2 yr old son(didnt BFd) it came round to 3pm and DD was ready for a quick BF. I was faced with a question..

''cant you just give her a milk from a bottle/sippy cup''

Why?

I just fed her didnt think much of it, she didnt have a problem with me feeding her while we were out, but couldnt understand why i still did it, why hadnt i 'trained' her drink milk from a sippy cup?
I have been getting quite a few comments like this recently. My mum, she thinks its disgusting that i still BF, so in turn my 13 yr old sister does too. A few other friends comment ''arnt kids ok to drink cows milk at this age'' , even DH commented today when i was telling him this story ''well, you have to think of why your still feeding her'' i dont even know what that means and didnt pursue the conversation.

I wondered what age it became 'wierd' to still be BFing...i guess around 15 months !!

DD still feeds 4 times a day, 5.30am (upon waking) 10am (nap time) 3pm (set you clock by it) and 7pm (bed time) and maybe 2/3 comfort feeds over night, and she loves it, dont think she will want to stop any time soon!.....IS this really that wierd???
