In a few months, I'll be breatfeeding, and to be perfectly honest, when the baby's hungry, he's going to get fed. Because I'm shy, I'm going to be modest about it, but he's going to get fed in public, I'm sure.
In regards to what age breastfeeding is apropriate, I lived with a mormon family in Arizona for 2 years, and in which time I met a family relative of theirs who was still breatfeeding her child at 2 years. I found this a little strange, however, it is their family and she can do what she sees fit. The husband aproved. Apparently, this was how they had been raised. According to my mother, it was after I bit her that I was not allowed to breastfeed anymore, at about 7 months. My SO wants me to breastfeed until our son is 1 years old, and my mother is shocked - in her eyes, this is WAY to old.
In all honesty, I believe I'm going to use her rule - I'll breastfeed unti one year, OR until I'm bit. :-D
