Breastfeeding

So, I learned this weekend that my cousin breast fed her son until he was 2 years old! I know this happens in South America (like until they are five and whatnot) and it is pretty common here in Eugene among the Hippies – but I never really knew anyone that went that long feeding their kid. And when she told me that, another cousin said, “Good for you” (mind you she has a 15-month-old that she still breast feeds). I was amazed. So, I asked her how often she would feed him. She said, “Whenever he wanted to,” which meant that he knew to ask for it!!! Yikes! I draw the line there. I don’t want my kid to lift up my shirt or say “Mommy I’m hungry!”
