Prior to becoming a mum I was extremely judgemental of mothers breastfeeding their babies past a certain age. I thought it just looked wrong! I was horrified when one of my colleagues told me she was still breastfeeding her 5 year old.

But now I get it! My daughter is two and is showing no interest in stopping. At each milestone (6 months, 1 year, 2 years) I thought we would be ready to stop. But I can’t bring myself to wean her. It helps her sleep, comforts her when she’s upset or sick and it let’s me sit down for a while and have a rest and sometimes a nap!

I have had pressure from a number of general practitioners to stop as it’s stopped me from being able to take certain medications. But I’ve persevered. There is so much pressure on us to breastfeed initially but why does this support suddenly dry up? (Excuse the pun!)

Thankfully my husband is really supportive 💕

It feels completely natural for us, but I did set a boundary a few months ago that we wouldn’t nurse during the day, only at night and in the morning. I got to a point where I was not enjoying it any more and she seemed to be trying to push my buttons during those times. It felt like it was time. She is very sad and holding on to a lot of anger about it over these last few months even though we’ve talked about it a great deal. She continues to ask for it throughout the day and when I remind her that we’re not doing that anymore, she meets me with anger and tears. Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.
