Ds is 3.7 and is bfed - once or twice a day, always last thing, sometimes first thing.
I realise tonight that (apart from dh and ds of course) no-one in RL knows I bfeed.
My sister and Mum knew about nine months ago, but something came up the other day and my sister said, "He doesn't still feed does he?" I don't think she meant it nastily (although my hackles always go up when someone says "still"), but she'd got the wrong end of the stick about what I was talking about anyway, so I started my answer with a "no" anyway, and wasn't really directly answering her question. So, I'm sure she thinks I don't bfeed him any more. And I've not mentioned it to my Mum in months, so she almost certainly thinks the same too, as I used to mention it every now and then before.
This got me thinking how sad it was that there really isn't anyone with whom I can share bfing tales - either good and bad. Dh is incredibly supportive, but has heard it all before. It's also a bit sad because I don't feel I can tell anyone. I feel everyone would think me some sort of freak for feeding "this long" (in their opinion of course).
Apart from you lovely lot on MN, I don't have anyone in RL who knows I bf. Is it the same for other extended bfers out there? Or am I just a Billy no mates with regard to this?
