Anyone still breastfeeding a toddler or older child?

[sophiesmiles]

I was just wondering if anyone here is breastfeeding a child 2 years or older?

Mine's 2.7

Don't start shouting, I am just asking, why would you bf a child of this age,what is your lo getting that it's not getting from all other types of food.

Comfort, antibodies, reassurance and many other things.

If small children are supposed to drink milk, then biologically, they are still supposed to be drinking breastmilk at this age.

You should watch this
I particularly like the boost of the immune system myself.
