Not sure whether BFding a 14-month-old counts as "extended", but I know no-one else feeding an older baby/young toddler...
First of all a question: I generally feed DS morning and evening, but sometimes also mid-afternoon. Usually this is when he is tired and needs a nap but won't sleep: he usually then falls asleep by the time he is on the second breast. It seems to me that sometimes after this he takes longer to fall asleep on the breast in the evening, often having to have three sides (say, L-R-L) before he falls asleep. Could this be because he has "used up" the available milk with the mid-afternoon feed?
Usually there would be about 4 hours between the afternoon and evening feed. I thought that it was a misconception that milk would be finished and that at this stage it is pretty much made on demand- so the longer time in falling asleep is probably due to being less tired rather than getting less milk.... Any views?
Also, I often read on extended BFding threads about teaching the child that BFding is only to be done in private/in the bedroom etc. Is there any particular reason to do this? I have not taught DS yet and do sometimes feed him elsewhere (e.g. on the plane)...
Also, for those of you who feed a toddler in the morning, when and what do you give him/her for breakfast after the morning feed? DS recently switched from yoghurt to porridge (and often some of my toast) but am wondering whether he should have more...
