I still nurse means old son 21 months. How should I handle the comments of others?

Especially my outstretched family, that to nurse my continuing, thinks, is strange and extreme". ich\'ve erklärte, that the Worldhealthorganisation recommends to nurse to 2 years old, and that the American academy of the pediatrics recommends, 1 years, to nurse for AT LEAST.

Not all tehm either nursed at all or nursed only for some weeks or months, so I know that her/its/their comments of a personal prejudice and a lack of information/education come silence because of him/it. But, to say, the unhöflich would be.

How should I handle her/its/their undesirable comments and opinions about my election in order to continue to work my son as a nurse?

from Chaz, I am so jealous! My daughter never learned to work as a nurse that I pumped für 10 months then on, I only say, you tell them, "hello, this is healthy, natural, and such a wonderful experience for both of us! Is there some wrong one with it?"

I held, because I to theückging, to work for a new company and a didn, \'t wants to ask in order to pump to do multiple pauses. And I pumped hardly anyways because I always was with my daughter, about her/it/them too füttern.

Congrats on it to fight for this, which you believe in it and want to do.

through am81, you can nurse for uptil, that 24 months and ofcourse-Kinder him/it not easily, to give up, finds. It könnte 2-3 month lasts in order to only give up. I nursed my son 27 months long. Much ppl found it strangely, but this itself provides. Only tell them, thereß Sie\'ll holds every time if it finds you and your baby comfortably.

through smarty pants, "her/its/their comments are caused by a personal prejudice and a lack of information/education because of nursing"

Doesn\'t think they are I, that it would be impolite to inform them exactly of this, impolitely your election through criticising in order to give the best possible food to your son!

You/they could ask them to keep her/its/their comments/opinions to itself because you did the election, for, to nurse as it, you yearn as you, something be ready and capable for him/it, which should be recommended for it!

ignore her/it/them if possibly, but if they then continue, I almost would not worry for itself to be nice troubles, it is no one of her/its/their business anyway, you only ask them so to push with the head out

Mommy of 1 and 2 on the way.

I would say about Frostie that they don\'t understand the special bond between mother and child if you continue to work as a nurse after one year. As yearn as you, and your baby is comfortable with it, there then is not any reason für you, to hold. And, her/its/their unerw say, to cross out ünschten comments only, you simply, "my baby and I enjoy these moments, so much as well as we us can expel, we can still have her/it/them. It würde is estimated, whether you would stop to give me a hard time for it to bind with my baby." Places you in perspectives for her/it/them it if necessary: Her/its/their nursing child is not even two, some mothers nurse seven years old!

Working a 19 month as a nurse old

from TryItOnc... tells off you she/it to p*ss. If das\'s too kühn, you only ignore her/it/them. Her/its/their Körper, your child, your decision. You/they are 100 percent of doing of the right matter. Brava!

through ret340, I had a friend of the brestfed until her/its/their son was in 4! EVERYONE commented on it, and she/it simply said, "that is a sensitive topic, we talk about some other." People continued to talk behind her/its/their back, but they commented no more on her.
A small insight here. Keep mind indoors, from which MANY people are creeped, if mommies older children, 2-4 years old, nurse, right before them. Maybe you/they want to go into another room if of Sie\'wieder of nursing much länger past. My friend, who nursed 4 year old for her/it/them, hörte on, to get invitations, to populate, \'s-Heimaten, because she/it let her/its/their son pull up her/its/their shirt and right nurses before us, not, if there were men natural in the room.

from HUh?!? Who worries what they say, for itself??? I nursed my son, until he/it was 18 months old and he/it, is a very healthy child. Although, as he/it it became older that he/it nursed really only before bedtime, it therefore never somebody, to make about those impolite comments to me there, gave. I say that you push vorwärts and makes you what thinks u, is the best for your child... won u\'t regrets it, it is not your decision theirs!!!

through mamamoon-Halt, that explains itself and your elections to them. You/they place mu auf\'tß with you agree, but you are mommy period.

I would say myself still nurses, and I become for as it continues, you yearn as it is comfortable for both my child as well as me. Now wünsche I not, to talk longer any about it."

If they are impolite in your home, you ask her/it/them to the permission. If away she/it you Don with other Zeiten-Aufenthalt from them unhöflich is, t needs her/its/their negativity, and no one does your child.

You/they are right thew, it is your business what you do, and makes you for it like long, if you feel, this then is right that it is right!!

from SueWithT... dont communicates them your business.., but he/it is almost 2... smooths you with it is your election.. only says you "that we disaccustom" but is you over this times anyway.

from ElioraIm.... my son is 32 months old and still BFing. I tell people, thereß as yearn you itself as it disaccustomed it through college, we are good! So normally, she/it locks up!

from Spindrif... OK, you brought 3 months of going... he/it will then be in 2 and will time in order to use the bottle. Most people know about all the pro to nursing, and as you yearn as you, you make it for Privatsphäre, nobody should worry, but you must change after two to bottles. ICH\'ve hörte from mothers, that nurse until 3-4 years, that are waaayyy too old, and are this, simply sick. As do, they all know so very much about it, how anyway you your baby ernheads? Some matters are kept the best to itself.

through singlemo..., if it is so wrong, why do you still have milk? If to nurse, from a certain age risesit should become ört, your milk also would stop comming in it.

I wish that I have somebody like you around as I was, * the effort *, to nurse. Nobody lowermostützte me, and thought was it a waste of time and das\'s which formula for...

Somebody, that is said as it, yearns as her/it, doesn\'t nurse through college... I believes, that this works!

you only say about Julie B, that my bobos is broken, this is, i something my son said.

through coolmomm... places you only away to do this, which you do and left, they always think something, that she/it want. You/they are the mommy, and you get, you your son however too heben\'d likes.

Incidentally I was completely floored with people, you narrow mindedness and ignorance, if nursing occurs. I never seem over my shock, to get with her/its/their stupidity and righteousness.

through aharb73 wow, the commenter, that said, that your milk is no good,.. this was simply stupid. I believe, thereß you for nursing so long wonderful is! I went 15 and 18 mos with my two children, and I wünsche, that I would have, went longer.

I definitely would find any type of group like La Leche-Verband or would support group therefore to nurse mommies. Es\'s, in order to find people so heavily, you kit tells önnen to it if you are from a bottle feeding family!

You/they sound like you, told them everything, which you should over AAP, and THIS. I würde them says, that it is your election and it, s not on for none more discussion.

through the reality, I must tell you that I a small weirded through somebody a child for this long one out nursing is. I did it only some months long. Gegenwärtig quiet I, but a four months long old.

It is not in last years until been, that the true benefits and the encouragement of nursing of this country were vowed. It is a cultural matter purely switched on why bevölkert, as I, is weirded through it out. I recommend you dafür, to do this. Nursing is a true commitment, f,ür this you should be vowed.

Although you answer to your relatives, should not have to, maybe you should confront her/its/their comments, if did, you ask her/it/them, why they would criticize you for her/it/them for it, for it a nourishing lifestyle, to prepare nephew, grandson and so on cousin, hopefully this will shame enough for them in order to bring her/it/them to the stop although it will certainly not change her/its/their opinions ich\'m.
