    Yay, that' is so great. How refershing to hear something positive about breastfeeding (outside an ABA meeting that is). It gets exhausting having to explain to everyone that, no it is not weird that I am breastfeeding a toddler... And so good that the doctors had such a great attitude, as so many around don't.

    You're right, Starfish, it's outside of the ABA meeting that makes it so nice! They already know there's nothing unusual about bfing a four year old.

    Thanks for your lovely comments girls.

    Jennifer our DD's were born only a month apart. As you know i had to wean DD early for various reasons...

    Every time i've been away from BB for a while and i'm back on i go looking for your sig and every time i see you and your DD still enjoying that special bond (ha! milkbond! lol, sorry) i have a little "yay" in my heart.

    I don't know if i'll make it to 4 wit tis next one, depends somewhat on the kid i guess, but i WILL be doing everything i can to get to 24 months. When i was PG with DD i thought 12 months would be a great time to wean, and now i know what the society i live in thinks is normal can be thoroughly questioned!

    Good on you lady!

    Bxxx

    That is so awesome, thanks for this jennifer. It is reassuring to hear a story like this. Especially from health care professionals, my doctors/dentist look at me like i have two heads when i tell them i am still breastfeeding. It's like you have to stay in the closet
    It would be so great if there was a shift in our societies "norms" and opinions.

    Well done Jen That's lovely. Thank you for sharing. I love watching your ticker, it always brings a smile to my face too when I see how long you've been breastfeeding Lucy for.... you are so inspirational to many women including me

    Oooh I love ABA meetings!
