Hi, ds1 is now 2 and hasn't BF since he was 15 months. I had a real struggle with him in the beginning, poor latch, not gaining weight but with help we pushed through and breastfeeding became a joy with him and was our mummy and baby time, especially after I went back to work.
I fell pregnant with DS 2 when ds1 was 9 months old, I happened to mention to some friends ("good" friends) that I was still BF ds1 and they were horrified. One told me that as soon as they had teeth you should stop BF, and the other just looked disgusted at me.
Needless to say if got in my head and the plan I had to try and tandem feed got washed away and I started to wean Ds.
Ds2 is now 12 mo and still BF, I can still see their disgusted faces in my head and feel like I can no longer feed him in public as people will think it's gross.
Do you think IAU to feel like this, have you had any similar comments or reactions when BF an older baby?
