So my little Mars just turned two a few weeks ago and my hubby is basically demanding that we are to stop breastfeeding. I'm ok with weaning her I've been trying with her for a bit now. The thing about it is he doesn't want her to cry at night because she wants to nurse. ( I should mention she only nurses at night and for comfort as of now.) That's really the only time I have to cut down on more and he gets mad that she wakes him and says "just give her the damn boob already" I hate the mixed signals he always gives me. It's so freaking annoying. I feel like I have no support anymore since she started to get closer to the age two and zero support now that she has turned two. I still need support. I wish they understood. It's hard coming from a family that never breastfed and one where the one who breastfed has passed. I feel so misunderstood. So defeated. so beat down. I wanted her to out grow the beed on her own and she has been good about it. I just feel so mixed up because I'm all alone in this now.

P.s I also want to mention that I never have a problem with breastfeeding, my kids learned fast how to latch right and never bite. I always enjoy breastfeeding as much as my kids.

@xroses, breastfeeding and “self feed” you have mentioned can be combined perfectly. There is no “ boob attachment “ whatsoever you talking about especially after two years. If you know how to communicate with your child is not a problem. Also breastfeeding is not replacing healthy diet when child is big enough to try the food. Plus don’t get offensive. It’s only our choice how to feed our kids. I don’t have nothing against moms who choose not to breastfeed at all, it’s their choice,although I feel very sad for their babies. Also I don’t really support the breastfeeding after 5 years. But before that it’s absolutely fine to let you child enjoy the most natural way of feeding. And again it’s my own opinion based on long time practice.

@ilonatahhan If you want to breastfeed your kid till they are grown that is your decision girl. Im not going to live my life by every whim that world health organization recomends. Breastmilk is babys #1 source of nutrition when they are completely dependent on the mother. As nutritious as it is when baby develops motor skills to self feed, I believe still attaching them to the boob is unnecessary and hindering their developmental milestones. Such as having them wear their binky till they are grown. It has everything to do with independence because they can have a healthy diet otherwise.

@xroses, you breastfeed 1.5 its still good but even World Health Organization recommends to breastfeed minimum 2 years. So you are not really a champion in that)))my First child I fed 2,8 years and I wish I would continue for another year at least. But he was fine with my decision, took it easy))

@xroses, breastfeeding has nothing to do with independence. It has many other benefits for mother- child relationships. After 2-3 years old, kids are comprehensive enough to understand a lot of things, they eat well and don’t breastfeed in public if you don’t want. Plus it doesn’t mean that you need to breastfeed every time she or he cranky or upset.

Woah my daughter is 4 and I cant imagine still breastfeeding her. I breastfeed for a year and half. It was hard to wean her but I kept at it. She is grown and very independent at 4yold. There is attachment parenting but to a certain extent. They need to learn other ways to sooth themselves as they get older. I would say hubby is right. Mabye let hubby know that it's going to be a process to wean her from comfort feeding but your working on it.

My daughter is 4 and she is still breastfeeding before night and in the morning. If you can breastfeed why not? 2 years is not the limit, you don’t even know or may be know how it helps when the kids get sick, breast milk helps a lot
