Every time I see my friend (weekly basis usually) she will say "when are you gong to stop breastfeeding?
He's six months now you've breastfed enough.
You don't want to be one of those awful women who breastfeed their toddler.
I was formula fed and I'm fine.
I formula fed my daughter and she's perfectly healthy.
There's nothing wrong with formula feeding you know.
You've really breastfed for long enough now."
Etc etc. It's really starting to get to me now. I have nothing against formula feeding, but it's not how I have chosen to feed my child, and I'm going to continue breastfeeding until he self weans (depending on exact circumstances). She says all this stuff literally every time I see her. I don't want to get into an argument about it because I don't have the time or the energy, so I just say things like "well it works for us" and "I'll see how it goes, we're both enjoying it now" but I'm on the verge of just avoiding her until I've stopped breastfeeding, which is quite sad, really.
