| 181. Do Not listen to the Doctor |
|
most of them do not know a thing about breastfeeding - call La Leche League and talk to the pros - there is no set time - all kids are different - I nursed my son for 1 1/2 years and my daughter for 2 1/2 - I do know woman that nursed for 3 or more - no ill effects - most kids will let you know when they are ready -some want to hang on
no one should feel guilty about nursing - and the crap about bad for teeth just doesn't jibe - never heard the one about painting the breasts - doesn't make sense - why would you want to scare them and ruin the good feelings of nursing?
nursing your baby is the best thing you can do for its health - good luck
