@Twiglett - how is the breastfeeding going?

[emkana]

Hi Twiglett,
the current thread about b/feeding after 12 months reminded me of the earlier thread about extended breastfeeding started by you, which as you may recall got rather heated .
I was just wondering how you're getting on now - are you still b/feeding? How are you feeling about it? Have you decided when you're definitely going to stop (or have you stopped already - not sure). Have your feelings about extended breastfeeding changed?

Am I asking too many questions?

Nope .. glad to be remembered

DD is 9.5 months old and still breastfeeds but only at night (so once, sometimes twice a day) .. ..

so pleased I started that thread because I don't think I'd have got to this stage so comfortably (shame I had to get my posts deleted over another issue though .. cos I think it was quite cathartic for me, and could've been for others)

I'm still feel quite happy doing it as a private thing but won't bf in public (don't need to really) as I do feel she's quite big, I was totally happy with public BF until about 6 or 7 months

DH thinks I should've stopped but puts no pressure on, current plan is to take her to a year

thank you for helping me sort it out in my head back then

that said I watched a lady breastfeed her walking toddler the other day (probably about fourteen months or so) and smiled

That's lovely to hear, twiglett.

Enjoy every feed!

great twiglett, so pleased youre happy with it... i still feed dd, 16 months once a day... totally happily!
