I dont' know if it's my stubbornness that has put people off saying these things to me yet, but no-one has dared suggest it yet. There was ONE occasion where I let the suggestion go, cos it wasn't quite a suggestion, and it wasn't a condemnation either - DP's elderly aunt, her friend and I were in the room and I fed Oscar. She mused to her friend 'He almost looks to old to be breastfed', and I'm not sure if it's because he was standing up and using that 'engaging' look on his face that makes him seem older, or if it was because he is past 6 months, or if it was just an automatic response. She is not one to tell anyone what they should do and she is the sweetest lady who would be supportive of gentle parenting, so I let it go!
