i used to think i felt wierd about feeding a toddler too, but your baby goes so slowly from a baby to a toddler that i didn't notice the transition and i don't have any issues with it.

I think my issues were more based abound other peoples perceptions, not many people bf beyond 12 months, so i guess i was subconsciously concerned about what other people would think. I love to pretend i don't give two hoots about what other people think, but i guess i do. Now, living in a country where extended BF is the norm. (3-4years) i am more than comfortable feeding my 17 month old and don't plan on weaning anytime soon. It has certainly opened my eyes and changed my perspective. The reality for most people is that toddlers end up feeding morning and night, sometimes nap time. So you're not really ever feeding in public anyway, so i don't know what i was worried about!

I will say though, that although i am comfortable feeding her, it doesn't mean it doesn't drive me crazy at times!

Here's an article for you.
