Hello mamas,
I am in need of some advice from other moms who are still breastfeeding their toddler. My daughter just turned 2 and I am still breastfeeding her. Of course she is also eating three meals a day with snacks in between but she chooses to breastfeed. It’s more of a comfort thing for her, she will ask for “boobie” and may ‘comfort suck’ for a few minutes before stopping and continuing playing. I have always loved breastfeeding as I am a stay at home mom. However, my partner has constantly been putting pressure on me to stop breastfeeding already since she is 2 years old. I start to feel guilty because he doesn’t feel like I am respecting his wishes and that we are not a team on this topic. When I tell my daughter “no more boobie”, she starts to cry and becomes upset. I wish my partner supported me through my breastfeeding journey and understood that me and my daughter is not ready to completely stop yet. I’ve been weaning her off by using a product I purchased on Amazon, but there are still times throughout the day where she still nurses. Any other moms have similar experiences or advice for me? Should I tell my partner that this is my choice and he just needs to get over it?! I’d love to here from you ladies! Thank you!
