Breast fed babies are the strongest and brightest kids, but is there a time when you have to say, 'Okay, enough already?'Breast Feeding When is it too much? - Page 6
Thank goodness my son stopped breastfeeding months ago, he was ready and I was ready too. The only suggestion I have for mothers out there is take your time, do not rush your child, do not follow the pressures others put on you, just follow your heart and everything will work out just fine.

much it When Feeding Breast
I know it's been a while since anyone has posted on this topic, but I want to leave my two cents. I think every woman should have the final say on how she wants to nourish her infant(s). I do agree that from the moment a baby is born, the best nutrients and antibodies come from mother's milk especially in the first couple weeks and even more when the baby is premature. In my opinion, I think when women are in public they should be discreet out of respect for everyone else around. I think others would be more accepting of her if she were discreet.
I went to dinner with my boss, his wife and some other co-workers, and right there at the dinner table, she lifted up her shirt, pulled her bra down (completely exposing herself) and then took her baby out of the carrier.... I think that was a little out-of-place if you know what I mean. And.. I cannot believe he didn't tell her anything about it.
I also know a woman that I believe is obsessed with breastfeeding and she is actually refusing to introduce her toddler to juice and other liquids because she doesn't want to give him the opportunity to enjoy juice and not want her breast milk anymore.. I think that is selfish! This same woman thinks her toddler will be smarter and thinner in the long run if he is soley on breast milk... what ever happened to studying and healthy diet/exercise?
I do disagree with people that insist breastfeeding is the best way to comfort/console a baby. It is terrible to suggest that fathers can't comfort a baby the way a mother can. (and why use an artificial device to make the baby believe he's nursing with a person other than his mother?) My husband and I took turns waking up with our son in the middle of the night and we were both able to rock him, feed him a bottle and comfort him right back to sleep every single time.
I'll end here by saying that every human being is different and that's what makes the world go 'round.
Breast Feeding When is it too much? Reviews Consumer & Travel Family Culture
I believe deciding to wean your child off of the breast is a decision that is made between the mother and the child. And it's different for different families. And it's different with the same mother and other children. It's like learning to walk. Some children are active and learn to walk by 8 months. Others don't. That doesn't mean that one child is behind or wrong. The same with breastfeeding. Maybe one child will become tired of it by a year and a half. Maybe others continue to 5. Why should there be a cut off? I'm pretty sure your child will not go to college still breastfeeding. So why have the pressure to stop something that is so beautiful and precious to both the mother and the child? All I really know, though, is that my daughter Nicole is breastfeeding and even though I find it a pain sometimes, other times I'm like, this is the best thing ever! Why doesn't everybody do this? I'm going to follow her needs and let her decide when she wants to quit unless my doctor recommends I quit because of health reasons. *I have had a gastric bypass. So, while Nicole gets all the nutrients she needs, I get depleted of them. So if my doctor says I'm loosing nutirents too quickly and my health is going down too quickly, then I'll have to quit. Otherwise, she'll let me know when she's done.

I started weaning Jonah due to the fact that I am four months pregnant and I do not see myself breastfeeding two children. Jonah eats regular foods now and does not seem to miss the breast during the day at all. Since yesterday he did not breastfeed during the day but only during the night. His appetite increased quite a bit so I suppose that's why he does not seem to miss breastfeeding. I will wait for some weeks to see about during the night, that will be a hard one because he wants to use breastfeeding to fall asleep!
Nevertheless, I am very happy I was able to breastfeed for the past 15 months.

"Mommy, I want a breastfeed please". Some Australians moms breastfeed their kids until the age of 7.

| Some Australian women are breastfeeding their children until they are 7-years-old, a new study has found. Children enjoy the taste of the milk, the comfort it brings and the closeness to their mother, according to research about to be published from the University of Western Sydney. Academic Karlene Gribble studied 107 women who breastfed their babies from age 2 to 7. Some were feeding up to a dozen times a day and one of the women was feeding three children at a time. "Most women don't set out to feed this long but they enjoy it, especially when their children get old enough to express how much they love it," Gribble said. She reports several thousand children at any one time are breastfed past the age of 2. "My daughter is very articulate. 'Mummy, I'd like a breastfeed please'," one mother of a 3-year-old said. Another mother of a 3-year-old said her son would "climb on my lap, when sitting, lift up my shirt, pull down my bra and attach himself." One mother who fed a 5-year-old said he fed upon waking in the morning, if he was sick or hungry, and sometimes had a "quick suck" at bedtime. For many children, breastfeeding was connected with sleep and comfort... |

I took my youngest child for his 6 weeks old check up at the health center and all the nurses were commenting on how big he is. He was born with 7 lbs 11 ounces and he is now 12 lbs! Yep, a breastfed baby! I breastfed my first one until he was almost three, the second until he was 21 months and now breastfeeding the youngest. I just love the bond that breastfeeding creates between mother and child and how chubby they get!
