Breastfeeding with a toddler
Breastfeeding with a toddler
I was speaking with one of my friends that is also expecting and she said she wants to breast feed but she doesn't want her SD to mock her with her dolls. Would any other moms consider that an issue?

No, breastfeeding is natural and not weird or dirty, so I don't see why it would be a concern. When my girls were toddlers they did that anyway without seeing someone breastfeeding.

I remember pretending to nurse my dolls when I was little. I don't see the issue it would make me happy and proud to see my child pretending to nurse :)

No. When my son was born my daughter was 2.5. She mimicked me and it was cute. Never had any issue with it...

There's nothing wrong with that(: my mom didn't breast feed so I honestly didn't know there was milk in there lol

I didn't think it was an issue either but to each his own.

My daughter breast feeds her babies and I think it's the cutest thing ever.

I personally think it's important for children to see their mom breastfeed. It's natural and something that needs to be taught. I am getting my toddler a special babydoll when we bring the baby home so she take care of her baby like Mommy does.

I'm gonna breastfeed with a toddler. I'm more concerned about providing equal attention to my toddler than her breastfeeding her dolls, that would actually be cute. It's not something to be ashamed of in my opinion, it is beautiful and natural. And it's not a forever thing, eventually momma will stop breastfeeding and toddler will forget about doing that with the dolls.

My daughter was 3 when we had our second one and she asked once what i was doing and I just told her feeding the baby and after that she never even paid attention.
