Took newborn DD2 for a weigh in at the local baby clinic this morning and during the visit 2 year old DS was nursing. Not usual for him to ask out and about but he is under the weather at the moment with a bad cold and needing more attention with the arrival of DD2.
HV asked standard questions about DD2 and said she assumed that I was breastfeeding DD2 and I said yes. She asked about my 4 year old DD1 and asked if I breast fed her and then asked how long did I feed her for. I said I still am, isn't that great (with a nice smile)
HV was speechless.
She just got her diary and Arranged to see me tomorrow for DS 2 year old check and went on to the next mum.
I wonder if she'll bring it up again tomorrow. I might ask her what she thinks about toddlers nursing.
HV seemed quite supportive of 2 year old DS nursing. I think me nursing three including an school aged child and was a bit much for her, but I am very impressed that she wasn't negative.
