My daughter self-weaned at 2 years and 1 month and I loved every minute of our breastfeeding time. She almost weaned herself once when she was 18 months old because she had a throat infection and sucking and swallowing hurt but I wasn't ready so I didn't let her. I have gotten a few funny looks from people who have seen me bf an almost 2 year old but I haven't let them get to me. Thankfully nobody has said anything to me but if they had I would have told them about the WHO recommendations as well as giving them my opinion on modern western desire to trust multinationals, like formula companies, who are only interested in making money but we trust them to tell us what is best for our health and our lives.

Sorry about the rant but I got sick of the fact that when I was having problems bf after DD was born nobody would support my desire to stick it out and they kept saying, "just put her on formula." So I went and informed myself and now I don't care what anybody thinks I just do what is best for my baby.
