Any Mom's out there who have nursed or are nursing their child/children?

I have nursed my daughter and still allow her a "snack" before bedtimes. She is 3 1/2.

What did you call it? Hubby came up with the idea for "snacks" being the name for my boobies.

What kind of experiences have you had? Have you faced much criticism or recieved lots of support?

I only got much criticism from one relative. Hubby and all my other relatives were so supportive. It's been a great experience overall. We did have a bumpy start with my milk taking 7 days to come in and getting thrush within the first month. After that though, it's been smooth sailing and definately worthwhile.

I was nursing my daughter when she was only a couple months old in a little sitting room off the ladies bathroom at a JCPenny's. When I did so in public I always brought a light blanket with me to throw over me shoulder so there was no exposer to offend anyone. It was still easy to guess that I was nursing my baby. A woman stopped on her way out and said "It's so wonderful to see women who are brave enough to nurse there children in public. Thank you."

Any encounters for or against nursing that you've experienced?
