We are just a few weeks short of bfing for 9 months and I'm finding myself defending my choice to keep feeding my DD.
I'm not righteous about it, I'm actually almost feeling like I am apologetically justifying it. (not sure that's the exact right way to say it)
I aimed for 6 months and am stoked to be almost at 9 months and I'm setting my next goal for 12 months but.... I'm getting those comments
"oh can I only mind her for 4 hours seems like a short visit" - from family
"have you tried just dropping her feeds"
" formula is just as good..."
I'm all for doing whatever works, I'm not against formula at all I used it to comp feed the first week if DDs life but I just needed to write down that I'm feeling pressured to stop feeding. I know I shouldn't care, I know it's natural, I know I'm doing the right thing for us I just wonder why people think it's of major concern to them that I'm still feeding a 9 month old baby!
Ok I feel better just blurting that out
