She had a sippy and she had mama. Guess what she wanted? Guess what she got? And you better believe my 2 year old was eating food! She was a slow weight gainer and truly our doctor wanted me to nurse as long as possible because breastmilk gives such good calories, the most bang for their buck when they are eating. <br /><br />I could totally freak out about this law...ahhhh, deep breaths!!!<br /><br />My youngest turns one Sunday and you better believe we are not weaning, my goal is to go longer than I did with the last one!signingcharityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277911657754648853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-12388588211312518192011-08-04T12:48:21.193-04:002011-08-04T12:48:21.193-04:00That is insane!

That DOES NOT mean she's ready to wean! We'll start sippy cups at day care when she's one, but I plan on nursing in the evening and morning as long as we both want to. <br /><br />I am so tired of boobs being sex objects. This is the reason people are uncomfortable with breastfeeding, and the reason why women are expected to hide in a bathroom to feed their babies.

Supply issues, thrush, slow weigh gain, supplementing with a dropper...all things that get me hot, apparently. I think it's telling that when a woman and child are most vulnerable, they are subjected to power trips like this. What recourse does one even have in a situation like that? Public humiliation by an authority figure?

We have a hard enough time not being harassed in public by people that don't even know the law - trying to tell Moms that they "can't do that here." And yeah, a lot of women *can't* pump.

The money is in big pharm and genetically engineered foods so for them to outlaw something as natural and healthy as breastfeeding does not surprise me one bit. I suppose I am surprised at the fact that it passed though. Did no one know about it being voted on? I can't imagine that many momma's not raising their voices. <br />My stance has definitely changed since having babies. I do remember seeing one momma that breastfed her sone at two and I was shocked. Goes to show you there needs to be so much more teaching on the subject. Found you through Hybrid Rasta Mama and the World Breastfeeding Week blog hop. <br />Really great post.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591860951634873657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-7177237620873612682011-06-02T01:12:20.930-04:002011-06-02T01:12:20.930-04:00I'm a little embarrassed too.

(except the sexual abuse one... that seems even more ignorant than I could possibly be on this).<br /><br />However, having exclusively nursed my son for the past 6 months, I can see that it probably won't be long before he can lift up my shirt to nurse. And I certainly don't intend to stop before he's a year old.<br /><br />I agree with everyone else on here. This is not the government's domain here. Breastfeeding toddlers isn't hurting anyone at all.

Although I haven't decided if I'm going to do it past a year, I am OFFENDED that the government is going to tell me I CAN'T. You're totally right in saying that a bunch of men should not be legislating how we feed our children. <br /><br />Do some people really say that BFing past a year is sexual abuse?!?!?!!? <br /><br />UG!

Or that breastfeeding over 2 years of age is lewd behavior? Um...pretty sure I see more "lewd behavior" from random women wearing low cut tops or dresses...this law is ridiculous and I would fight it.

I mean that is beyond ridiculous. <br /><br />I do think 2 is a bit old, since they should be eating solid food by then. And people should really go in private to breast feed because I know other people don't want to see it. But to make it a law, that is ridiculous!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.surprisingly-sweet.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Surprisingly Sweet</a>Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350776682706049519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-21987504966945788382011-05-22T17:27:31.085-04:002011-05-22T17:27:31.085-04:00Skipping by from the Sundae Blog Hop...

My guess is that many of these people are the same ones who want government out of other things that truly NEED to be regulated. <br /><br />But that is my opinion and I am soooooo busted... extended breastfeeder... in public. Cart me away and lock me up. I have 4 kids and have nursed all beyond 2 years. Most of the nursing of toddlers occurred in private because that was when they wanted it. The record for me is 4 years and one week.XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-34633211371059685742011-05-22T14:05:56.530-04:002011-05-22T14:05:56.530-04:00Wow is about all I can say!
