Stacey, I go by my ped's recommendations when I feed my babies regular milk after a year, she is one of the top ped's in new york state and I trust her opinion 100%, there are people that give their babies milk instead of formula before they turn a year, and are 100% healthy, I'm not talking about benefits of bf'ing, or knocking anyone, I'm saying, how is a 4 year old not feeling that's uncomfortable? Or the mother? It might be for other people, but not me! I breastfed my son until he got teeth, after that, it was done for me, and he is perfect height, weight, and is so healthy, he rarely gets sick, so it's personal choice.
Omg! Ha ha... I just have ti laugh, im sorry.
its a personal choice when to stop breastfeeding, if you look at the wold health organisation guidelines they reccomend breastfeeding until the age of 4, of course most people do not do this, but I personally wouldnt knock anybody who chooses to breastfeed for as long as they want so long as it still has its benefits for the child, alsoregular milk from a cow contains huge amounts of antibiotics etc that they feed the cows, so its not actually that good for you, your much better off continuing the formula for a few months to a year after they turn one, cows milk can also be very harsh on a baby (1 yr old) as well, but for the question, I would also personally be worried about your sisters state of mind, its one thing to be vocal about a home birth, but she has stepped way over the line in trying to induce you by giving you a drug and also about the whole swappy breastfeeding thing going on, she could possibly still have some untreated post partum depression going on, or something similar, and I would as the other ladies have said, be extremely conserned about having her anywhere new your baby
^ I agree!! I'm almost a little uncomfortable past 2! You don't continue formula after 1, why would you continue breastfeeding? It blows my mind. I read people breastfeeding past 3 and it just seems so ridiculous to me!
Like real life I'm officially scared of your sister lol. And I'm not judging or anything this is seriously a honest question, why do people breastfeed children until they are 3 and 4?
Yeah she wouldnt be alone with my baby @all...not,even if i just have,to go2 the bathroom..
