Indah is kind of weaning herself (which is sad for me) but if that's what she wants atleast I know it is self weaning... She is only wnating susu if she is crying, hurt herself or is just restless which might be every second or third day it seems, although if it's coz I am pregnant & my milk has changed I dont know????
Astrid I'd feed on the plane too, I honestly dont care what anyone says or thinks, if I worried about others then I wouldnt be being true to myself & to my child...? I just really dont care!!!
I'd never verbally, or physically make some feel bad, guilty or like they were doing something wrong, as everyone has their own reason for doing what they do & the choices they make... Unless it was violent, or perverted etc, I'd just never say or tell a friend or anyone... That their decisions reagrding their kid/s was wrong.... How would I know their exact life situation, it annoys me that other ppl think they have a right to comment or pull faces!!!

I thought bubs had to be strapped in the the ascent and decent? I was going to put Maggie in the HAB to stop her from wriggling. I may need to adjust my plans. Really not looking forward to getting of the plane. It is one of those smaller airport that you have to walk down steps and then across the tarmac to the arrivals section. Freaked about slipping on those steps, especially if it is windy and rainy.
-
Babies under the age of 2 sit on your lap, they have a seatbelt attached to your seatbelt, so you can definately still feede whilst both seatbelted in as it allows movement...
Our trip to Gold Coast recently was walking down steps on to tarmac & again leaving we had to walk up the steps, but tehy definately assist you!!!!
You'll be fine Astrid!!!

Astrid, yeah as Tracey said there's a seatbelt for bubs that attaches to your belt on the plane. When we flew to/from Melbourne I wanted to leave Kynan in the HAB (which would have been a hell of a lot safer for him than those stupid belts in the event of an accident!) but they wouldn't let me and were really strict about how he was sitting etc. I was really annoyed about it as Kynan was so content in the HAB and then the whole plane had to put up with him crying and squirming around...

Looks as though I will take the BaBa Sling instread, as it is quicker to get her into it to get off the plane. Maggie is such a squirmer as well and I know she will insist on standing between my legs to feed.

My Baby girl turned 1 on Wednesday and I am still feeding her and I am wrapped. I set a personal milestone to get to 6 months and then it was 12 months and now it is when Hannah self weans. When she looks up at me with those big blue eyes I just melt and Idont want to lose that, this first year has gone so fast and she wont be a baby for long.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good on you Rach for makeing it this far. Its unfortunate that its not our decision to keep feeding for as long as WE want. The little monkeys have there own minds and they decide.
My little man has just turned 1 as well and still feeding. He isnt as regular as before but still getting the good stuff. Wonder if ill be tandem feeding.
-
well done girls, why would you wean on to cow's milk when they can have human milk. i'm all for bubbas/toddlers/preschoolers to self wean.

My little man is almost 13 months and we are still feeding :) Mostly at night to comfort him when he wakes but he is still getting the good stuff!
-
We are still breastfeeding. It has really gotten better and better with time. I love the special time with Charlotte. She looks at me with those blue eyes and names all the bits on my face and we have the best conversations. I wonder if we would have time for that without the feeding.
-
Cole is now 18mo and still feeding, though i'm starting to wonder when it will all end. He only feeds first thing in morning, and last thing before bed, but whenever he is teething he wakes up and sooks for a feed too for comfort. I would be quite happy to cut that out! Any ideas?
-
Maryann, sounds like you and Charlotte have the same conversations as Tehya and I. Not only does she name the parts of my face she gives them a poke too :)
People are starting to ask me when I am going ot get her off the boob. My answer is usually whenever she is ready. The I get, What ?? at 4. I don't think I'll last that long. My poor boobs have nearly vanished now, but at what age will I go to?? When do you decide enough is enough ??
-
i follow the don't offer, don't refuse motto. so if they ask for a boob i give it but i don't actually offer the breast, for me i start doing this after about 2 & 1/2 but i know lots of people start earlier. when zak had his last breastfeed we were both ready, we both just knew.
