    My DH is fine with the fact that babies can be BF beyond 2yo, although I'm not sure what he'd think if K were still to be BF at 3 LOL... My SIL BF her youngest until he was 2.5 so they didn't think it was unusual at all for K to still be BF after he turned 1. Was a bit of a different story with some of my side of the family though. I was getting comments about K still being BF by the time he was about 10 months. Sometimes I find it frustrating that I have to defend myself all the time but I think in the end it's no one else's business and if you and bub are happy to continue to BF then go for it! Read up on the benefits of extended BF and if anyone questions you then you can give them all the scientific info as to why breastmilk is still wonderful for bubs over 1yo

    All the best!
