Breastfeeding 17 Month Old

October 17, 2010 my son, Kacen, turned 17 Months Old :) So it's time for a nursing update on the last 17 months & where we are now.

He's still nursing & I don't see him quitting anytime soon. Normalize Nursing!

did you have trouble concieving while still nursing? As soon as hubby gets back from deployment we start trying for #2. I had to use fertility treatments to get pregnant with my daughter (who just turned one). We had to try for 5 years and several angel babies b4 we were blessed with her. Anyway, I still nurse her and am planning on self weaning, and was just curious if you had any trouble with the whole process.

@Woliger Not once my cycles were regulated.

wow ur so lucky im happy for you i want to breast feed as long as i can its so harrd to get pass the second month

[xxxjoelpolexxx]

@Angie416Wells The first few months are by far the worst! I had to tell my self that THIS is the ONLY option & honestly believing that helped...It didn't seem so hard all of a sudden, still exhausting, but knowing that it was really our only option just changed my entire thought process.

Perhaps he cries like that because he fell asleep to feeding, so waking up and suddenly not having your breast makes him upset. Have he ever fallen asleep without breast feeding or had to soothe himself to sleep after feeding? Is he still like this now? (see this is an older video) I see this is an older video so I hope you haven't already answered all of these questions in a newer one!

@guraqt658 We've always soothed our children, as we see no need in such a young age being forced to self soothe, it just doesn't seem right to us, as we're their parents & that's our job. He has fallen asleep w/ out me, when his Daddy snuggles him (co-sleeping) to sleep.

Haha your cat is looking at you like 'pfsh one baby? I can do that with up to 10' hahaha.

@gunesgun Americans see breast as sexual objects for their lovers pleasure, not the means to feed their offspring b/c most Americans are too ignorant to believe that's why God created breast on our bodies. However billboards, ads, commercials, lingerie, etc sex sales, and it's always breast. On another note my son is now 19 months, I'm 3 months pregnant, & he's still nursing.

@jojokubo Really? Because you see a mom dedicated to nursing? Grow up.

@xxxjoelpolexxx I like the non self soothing I dislike it so much when parents say oh let them cry it out my brother calls it spoiling them it bothers me a lot plus the baby he/she needs to know your there from them when they cry and that they can count on you
