I agree too about the nothing to admire factor. In fact, I think that idea feeds the notion that mothers whose DC EBF do it for some sort of admiration/recognition/kudos/smugness/whatever. It's just a part of daily life, isn't it? If I want a glass of juice, I get one. If DS fancies a quick boob, he has one. It's not hours spent unwashed and trapped under a forever-suckling newborn getting the dead arm like in the early days (which I didn't mind, despite my description). When people ask why I haven't stopped, the bigger question is why would I? It's nice, it's healthy, it's bonding, it's comforting, it's relaxing, it can be very funny at times (do other people's toddlers try to latch on in silly ways and bring their boobs gifts too?!)... why on earth would I deprive either of us that much positivity for no good reason?
I wonder if part of not understanding why women continue to BF their children past a certain stage is differing lifestyles, ie some people can't see how it'd not be a hassle, etc. I have noticed that, like me, other EBFers I know in RL generally have a more lazy laidback approach to life as mothers (not filling time up with loads of classes and groups, not worrying too much about housework (not being skanky, but relaxed), having a slower pace of life and are, more often than not, SAHMs. If you're busy busy busy all the time with something or other then EBFing would probably seem inconvenient or whatever.
Am not criticising any other type of lifestyle or approaches to parenting, far from it, I hasten to add.
