Feel weird about bfeeding, HELP!

[Dontaskwho]

ds is 8 moths and have weaned him to just 1 feed per day from me, thing is now during the night he will sometimes wake looking for a comfort suck.
I try not to but sometimes give in.
Feels wrong, I saw that advert for programme on channel four and heard people talking about getting sexual kicks out of bfeeding,I certainly dont get that but is it wrong to let a baby of 8 months comfort suck?
does that make me bad to do it or not to do it??
Is he really a baby at 8 months?
Even if he's not does this make a difference?

Your baby wants your milk. Do you really think he's wrong or weird to want it? Of course not.

This is between you and your baby. All over the world it's common for babies to feed into toddlerhood and beyond. Try not to let the bizarre ideas of these fools affect your lovely intimate relationship with your baby.

I fed my first three 'til they self-weaned at ages 2 and 3 years. They never ask for it now and it was so smooth I didn't even noticed them coming off it.

I'm still feeding my 12 month old and fully expect to be in a years time. I don't give a flying f*ck what these weirdos think of me and I won't let their nasty views infect what I know is right.

Not that I'm bovvered obviously.

I've seen the long thread about THAT proramme and am not sure I can bear to watch. BEcause I really fear that it's going to paint all b/feeding mums as wierdos. Regardless of what you feel about a 10 year old feeding, an 8 month old is a completely different kettle of fish. He's a BABY (and I would still class a 2 year old as a baby fwiw).

Although it probably feels like he has been with you forever, 8 months is still very young. B/f him is more than fine, it is a really good thing to do. There are lots of health benefits as well as the comfort it gives him.

I still feed ds who is now 15m. There are more important things than what ignorant people think. Please don't make important decisions about you and your baby's needs based on fear of what someone, somewhere might think. Hard as it is to believe sometimes, this really is not anyone else's business!!

Don't get me started about the damage that prgoramme is going to do to the already poor breast feeding rates in this country

Apart from anything else, doesn't the WHO recommend breastfeeding until 2 years of age??

FairyMum: laughed when I read about the City tossers you work with. My husband works in the City and he's recently been passing on breastfeeding tips from my midwife to a work colleague who's abandoned breastfeeding twice due to recurrent mastitis

that prog looks awful

will not be watching and will hope MIL and my mum don't either

Of course he's a baby! He's only eight months old, ffs! If you are only bfing once per day, I assume he has a bottle for his other feeds. Or are bottles too babyish for an eight month old, too?
There's absolutely nothing wrong with what you are doing. It is what nature intended and, as far as I'm concerned, if anyone thinks differently, then they are the ones with a problem.
