Happy Birthday, Lorelei! Hastings, my 17 month is still nursing. She is still a baby. The immunological benefits are concentrated in the second year. I tell people although you may see a toddler on my lap nursing, when I look down I see the eyes of the baby I nursed since birth. I nursed my 1st until 17 months and my second until 2 years 4 months. This is my last baby, she'll nurse until Kindergarten!!! LOL I find it helps when I spout off a few statistics. It also helps to say (directed at a general "you") "yeah, I know some people might have a problem with it, but that's their problem really, not mine." I can't be confrontational to people unless they are to me. Sorry you are dealing with this Hastings.
