Thanks for those wonderful answers. My LO was feeling a bit off colour this morning and had and extra feed at about 9.30 which is very unusual for him. Good to know he knows it's good medicine as well as good food!
I like your answer Joeve and the deflection thing is good too, HotI.
I guess I am a little sick of re-educating people.
My first baby died at 41 weeks and I had to tech those around me about the grief we were coping with. Even now stupid people say stuff like "well she's in a better place".
I guess I just want plain sailing but my choice to continue breastfeeding for a normal length of time is not something people can allow without question or opinion.
