Im breastfeeding a 21 month old and it doesn't get easier but you learn to ignore it. If you and babe are happy that's all that matters.
How do you respond to people that find it strange you still breastfeed?
People are cheering when you breastfeed at first, after 3 months they are starting to ask how long you will continue. Around 6 months they are surprised and a little shocked and at 8 months they tell you you don't want to have a child that pulls your shirt down.
I'm almost 9 months along and damn proud off it. I love it and at the same time it's so hard sometimes that I just want to quit (but I obviously don't). I want to make it to 1 year and maybe continue even after that! (Just in the morning and before bed at night).
Why are people so rude? I hate it.. Am I the only one that's annoyed about this? Sometimes I just think to not tell anyone that maybe I'll still be breastfeeding after a year but that's so stupid. I shouldn't have to feel ashamed for breastfeeding! How do you deal with this?

I've breastfed all 3 of my kids for as long as I was comfortable and no one has said a word. I'm still breastfeeding my 1 year old with no shame. My boss has made comments that he doesn't think breastfeeding past 6 months is normal, but he's an idiot and I don't listen to him. I'm protected to pump at work until 18 months, even then I can during my lunches and breaks and there is nothing he can do about it. In fact I'd dare him to try because I'd tear him apart with EEO. There comes a point as a mother that you need to do you and F everyone else's opinion. No shame in breastfeeding. It's good for everyone
I just ignore them...I'm a FTM and I've been BF 5 weeks now and sick of the comments. My MIL is definitely against it because she doesn't have control over my child and can't scratch her away from me like she wants..she swears I don't know what I'm doing. I plan on breastfeeding for a year and pumping longer than that..I applaud you Mama!
