Positive comments about bfing my almost-4 year old

[Jennifer13]

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!

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!

nice to hear a positive story (not my experience personally, but hey, it's a big country).

i'm feeding a just turned three year old and i do feel i have to "be in the closet" about it. I'm lucky my GP (who specialises in paedatric care) seems to be neutral about it.
