James' Breastfeeding Story
Hello, my name is Jillian and I am presently nursing my 3.7 year old son
James. I can't begin to tell you how fast the time has flown. I remember when
James was one year olf age, and I was certain that I wouldn't be nursing when
he reached the age of eighteen months. Well, as you can see, I was very wrong.
I can't begin to tell you how much it has meant to myself and James to have
continued our nursing relationship. I find nursing a child who is in the
advanced stages of toddlerhood, to be so much easier and enjoyable then at the
younger ages. One can carry on a conversation, know when something is wrong,
be assured that he/she is receiving enough milk, plus there is nothing so
useful in calming, comforting, and reassuring an older child, then nursing. I
believe the average world age for nursing is between 2 years to 7 years. It
would not bother me in the least if James decided to nurse until the age of 7.
As long as he feels the need, I'll be here for him.
Jillian and James, 3.7 years of
age
