DH and family seem to think Bf two is sick? i want to continue though....

[mamaLou13]

My Dh and most people who i discuss this with think that i should have already given up breastfeeding (dd is 16 months) she is showing no signs of weaning herself and i know how much she loves having milk so why should i give up? she is in nursery and goes the full day without but it's the first thing she wants when she see's me. and still bf's before bed and through the night abit. I don't think it's sick at all (which i also think is a very strong word to use in this context). Dh says that it will be really weird when she is actually verbally asking for booby etc and running over for milk (which she does now).
I just think its natural and its cute when she does stuff like that.
What do you think?

I think it's perfectly normal. Will post a proper reply but DS (22 months) has just verbally requested milk!

Breast Feeding Older Children by Anne Sinnott is well worth a read and is available through Amazon. If all else fails you could just hit him over the head with it.

Perfectly normal, both biologically and developmentally speaking, after all when your DD was first born she asked for a bf by wriggling, mouthing, looking and licking but now she has developed her language skills she is using them.

I second BFOC by Anne Sinnott (not least as my DDs are part of the stats in the book!).
