[QUOTE="Locutus, post: 69509022, member: 353469"] Interesting! I don't mean to be unkind, but it's possible you had some unpleasant experiences while breastfeeding, or your mother felt anxious or resentful perhaps. The World Health Organisation recommends 2 years minimum for optimal physical AND psychological wellbeing. Some people where I live BF for 3 years, and multiple kids at once. Toddler and baby. And also interesting that you equate the sort of parenting which is the norm around here, with 'smothering'. You are aware that it's the same sort of parenting which happens in many cultures other than our own? Baby wearing, extended breastfeeding, no external child-care, etc? It's all very well established and standard stuff. And I can assure you in the strongest terms possible, after raising three kids that way - it's not even slightly 'about the mother'. The mother comes dead last in the equation. If I'd wanted it to be about me, I'd have bottle fed, used baby sitters, and kept my kids in a room down the hall so I could get some sleep :p [/QUOTE]
