Why the pressure to give up breastfeeding?

[Gangle]

I'm sure this has been asked a million times but why do people, even other mums, make you feel like you should have stop breastfeeding after around 6 months? DS is 10 months and still going strong. He never took to the bottle and seems to get so much enjoyment from feeding, plus I love the cuddles - it's pretty much the only time I get to sit down all day. We're (almost) down to only one night feed (have read about teeth rot so trying to stop him nipping all night) but otherwise happy for it to continue for as long he wants really. Other people just look horrified when they find out you're breastfeeding s baby with teeth!

went to a BF peer support group this morning. One of the ladies was telling me how she was BF in a cafe recently and was asked to leave by a member of staff as other customers had complained. She told them she was not leaving, she was feeding her baby and carried on! So proud of her! As a new mum building up courage to BF in public that would have been my worst nightmare. Why is it that woman can freely walk around european beaches with their knockers out and everyone thinks that fine but sustaining your childs life and show next to no boob flesh puts people off their cuppa!! Makes me mad at myself for even worrying about it!

Three cheers for everyone still bfing!
Out of my antenatal group only 3 of us made it past 3 weeks, but a few of the others had health issues which meant it was very difficult for them. I'm the only one still going (DD is just over 1) and have met with surprise and, I think, admiration that we're still bfing. Now it is only first thing in the morning and last thing in the evening, but as I work full time it's a really nice connecting cuddly time for both of us. I do feel a little pressured to stop (and yes, my DH would like "his" boobs back ) but I'm not going to until DD makes it clear she isn't interested any more, whenever that may be.
I am not enjoying the nips from her emerging teeth though...
