When are you going to stop nursing that baby?: Pressure to Stop Breastfeeding

» Carey_1 - Pressure to Stop Breastfeeding

I am so glad I came across your article. My baby just turned one and is showing no signs whatsoever that he is ready to wean. I get so much pressure from my inlaws and husbands side of the family. My sisters who are moms give me lots of support and nurse themselves but they are far away. My Mother in Law especially will make a comet every chance she gets. Saying how old he is and I need to let go and stop basically saying that I am doing something strange and that he is to old. Since her pressuring me with her coments my husband has been starting to ask when are you going to stop nursing and it seams to bother him now. It didn't till he heard his mother say things. I love to nurse it is so bonding and my baby loves to nurse also. I wish there was more support. I would be resentful If I stopped nursing because of my husband pressuring me. I told him that he has backed off for now. Any advise or support would be great. THanks Carey
