Tia's Breastfeeding Story
I'm happy to find a source of support on the internet. I am still
nursing my son, he's thirteen months old now and showing no sign of
losing interest. I've been wondering how many other mothers are in the
same position. People are starting to look at me funny for continuing
to nurse him.
I'm lucky in many respects. One of the things I'm most thankful for is
that my wonderfully supportive parents take care of him during the day
while I'm at work. At lunch time they bring him to me and I nurse him
during my lunch hour. It's been wonderful for me because I can see him,
feed him and play with him during my busy day. I think this has helped
us stay connected. I also think he's just the kind of kid who like
nursing. His eating pattern hasn't really changed since I went back to
work when he was four and a half months old. He likes to try my food
and eats pretty hearty meals with his grandparents. When I'm around he
prefers to nurse and I think it's the easiest way to feed him.
I've decided to let my baby take the lead during the weaning process. I
think we both enjoy it and get a lot out of it. I'm glad I decided to
breastfeed and I will never regret having done it.
Thank you. Tia.
