It is just such a rewarding hobby.Emilyhttp://wheelsonthebus.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-50786836977628489982007-09-05T22:15:43.627-04:002007-09-05T22:15:43.627-04:00I love that bit about Berkeley. That's wonderful. <BR/><BR/>I was poking a bit around your archives, and felt compelled to check out your breastfeeding posts. I'm still nursing my 18-month-old, and wondering how and when we're going to wean. It's nice to hear of others who keep going. <BR/><BR/>And funny thing. My early days of breastfeeding were very rocky, like yours. Exclusive breastfeeding didn't work out for us, and I beat myself up over it. I worked my ass off, too. (If that's the bit that gets worked off...) I'm glad that you've shared your story.alejnahttp://collectingtokens.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-26902889499480167172007-05-31T15:19:06.178-04:002007-05-31T15:19:06.178-04:00I weaned my kid at 2 and believe me, it felt like it was too soon. She sure thought so!<BR/><BR/>I was really giving in to the social pressure but after I did it I realized that there were some benefits. But also some losses. (I had been delayed on a business trip and so it was kind of like we'd already started).<BR/><BR/>In my extended family, kids have been known to nurse until the age of 5. Extended nursing seems so normal to me. It's not like I make such a big deal about bfing but I do think sexism is the main thing that makes extended nursing into a big deal.ozmawww.ozma.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-3829398704962903372007-05-30T15:27:36.775-04:002007-05-30T15:27:36.775-04:00I had to bite my tongue and stop asking a friend of mine if she was still nursing after her son turned 2. It kind of sucked, though, because I really wanted to know (I'm nosy that way) - but because the question implied judgement, I couldn't ask.bubandpiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15957626443087438904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-5321688746977629122007-05-30T11:52:36.390-04:002007-05-30T11:52:36.390-04:00Bossy's husband believes in breast feeding.
