Well done to you for bfing your toddler. Throw out the old WHO line on two years being the recommendation.

And then tell her about your friend who bf her DD1 until she was four years old. For the record, my DD1 is very independent, always was, and I really miss the days when she was a little more attached. Now she says she wants to go live with her friend Lucy and no, she wouldn't miss me at all. Clearly bfing has nothing to do with personality.

I'm sorry your Mum has made you feel bad. It's always nice to feel your Mum applauds what you do, even if she wouldn't do it herself. Sucks when a small remark from your Mum can get under your skin.
