Breastfeeding at 19 months

i read your post title and my first thought was "how awesome to be still going strong at 19 months" good on you. I BF DS til 14.5 months and then he self weaned which was so sad for me, whereas most of my friends thought i would be happy!

By and large most people still don't have a great understanding of the importance of BF andnits benefits so try not to let it bother you (it can be hard though i know) if you ever want that pat on the back and bells and whistles ( which you deserve) i'm sure there are heaps of people on here ready to give it to you. You're doing a great job and should be proud of yourself, you are certainly not "odd" for continuing to nourish your child the best way possible :)

My DD is 21mths in a weeks time. I still BF her too. 3 times a day. She still eats bfast, lunch and dinner and snacks inbetween. I love that I can feed her.

I also get weird looks from people, but I DON'T CARE. I don't give weird looks to women that don't breastfeed at all.

Great job on 19 months.

My problem is...how will I wean her? she loves it too much. (yes, and so do I :))

Just wait and see what your friends think when you have a magic cure for 2yo tantrums ;) Being able to bf an older child when they are ill or upset makes life so much easier.

Yup!

Still feeding my 19 month old too! I've never had a negative reaction so I'm lucky I guess. But I fed my DS until he was 2.5yrs, so to me this still seems like early days! :D It really is a great bonus for tantrums and illness!

Well done to you!
