Hi Sisters!!!!!! I have a 15 month old son that I still nurse. We have been trying to cut back to just night-time nursings - in hopes of possibly weening soon. Connor LOVES to nurse so much that when he gets hurt he wants to nurse, when he first gets up in the morning and occasionally in the middle of day he will come to me wanting to nurse. So, cutting back to just night time nursings, is not working very well. LOL I feel perfectly comfortable nursing him still, and he seems unwilling to quit. It is a very bonding time for both of us. I also know that it is nutritionally what is best for him. I researched for a college paper on nursing and found that the World Health Organization now recommends that mothers nurse until AT LEAST 2 years of age!!!! That may sound CRAZY to some of you LOL - but after many studies that they have done on children through that age brackett, the breast fed babies enjoyed the best health and psyche of all children in the study. They have now even proven that breastfed babies have, on average, higher I.Q.'s than bottle fed babies. Here is my dilema..... though I KNOW that even the World Health Organization recommends nursing until 2, I have honestly felt like I could not tell anyone that I continue to nurse him because the few that I have told have looked at me like I was out of my mind (and some have even told me so). :-( I would not mind nursing until some time BEFORE his second birthday - but NO longer than that. I just don't know if I can handle feeling so icky around other people when the subject has come up - or when they have seen him come to me and tug at my shirt (letting me know that he wants to nurse). I would really like all of your opinions on this subject. Please don't worry about hurting my feelings. I am very educated and will take your thoughts and comments constructively (even if they are against the idea of nursing until the age of 2). I just really would appreciate all of your feedback on this. Have any of you nursed your children past one? How did you deal with these feelings? Have any of you felt uncomfortable around someone who nursed past one? (By the way, I NEVER nurse around anyone in public - so that cannot be what people are acting funny about - it is just the idea). I will look forward to hearing your nursing stories and ideas. Thank you so much!!! Love ya, Tiffani
