With an initial goal to nurse for one year, I researched ways to be successful.I bought books,read articles, and interviewed all of my mom friends. Then I mentally prepared myself for the long hall.
Although it has not been easy, Catherine and I are still going strong. At 14 months, our breastfeeding journey has endured multiple bouts of thrush, but we were able to push through.
When I tell people I am still nursing. I get the occasional blank stare with a comment like, "really?" It seems as if most people in this area think it is kind of strange to nurse a toddler. But after seeing the nutritional benefits and how much Catherine loves it, I have decided to keep our journey going.
Now that I have exceeded my initial goal, I have no immediate plans of stopping. Catherine now enjoys table food, and I have given her rice milk, but she still prefers breastfeeding.
How long did you breastfeed? If you have weaned, what process did you use?
