Thrifty Living Mom said...: I just weaned my 3 year old son about 2 months ago. I have 6 children and am pregnant with #7 and nursing each one was priceless, PRICELESS! I am much more experienced now than I was when I first begun but in my opinion, nothing compares to how wonderful and special it is! :); 4/29/2009 11:32 AM

~rachel~ said...: It's funny, my oldest nursed until he was almost 2 and the whole time he still seemed like a baby, but as soon as he weaned he seemed so much more grown up!; 4/30/2009 7:44 PM

Sasha222 said...: THANK YOU for having this blog. I have a 2 year old who I am still breastfeeding. I must admit it's not exactly my choice, I just can't get her to wean for the life of us. But it's still nice to see a blog like yours that can show people how completely OK it is to breastfeed past 6 weeks (sad that people think thats good enough). I mean we are one of the only countries in the world that weans so early and doesn't let our children self-wean. I will be a follower of your blog from now on. I really need to start meeting and talking with other mothers who are going what I'm going through.

And to Anonymous coward poster- your the reason why so many babies don't get breastfed in American..; 5/10/2009 5:30 PM
Anonymous said...: Well sasha222, I actually breastfed BOTH my children until they self weaned, so don't go blaming me for OTHER peoples choices not to breastfeed. And I posted anonymous so that I wouldn't get hate mail from people who disagree with my take on a photo…gee imagine that.; 5/17/2009 9:34 PM
