Man I wish I had the quick thinking abilities and guts to come back with some of that stuff, LOL!!!! I always go off and think about all the things I could have said, LOL, but it doesn't do me much good then!LOL
I don't mention it much either. It's funny though, I've been surprised by some people when I mention it and they then tell me they nursed until 3 or more. These are people I just didn't peg for nursing much at all!! LOL!! It's nice to hear those stories.
MOSTLY it is family. I My grandmother's and I don't want to be rude to them, I just tell them I'll be done when I'm done and change the subject. Of course the one won't leave me alone about his hair....it hasn't been cut yet. I just bite my lip and go on. They won't be here that much longer (late 80's ) and I just want to enjoy them
You know, last winter, my DS had a few colds and that type thing but never really got sick. I really believe the nursing helped. The others had some bugs. My oldest dd had a nasty bug and so did I that seemed to last for weeks. I was astonished he didn't get it as close as we were...nursing, in our bed, etc.
I don't mind still nursing. I would however like it if he didn't *need* it to go to sleep most of the time. and would also like if he would sleep through the night.
Anyhoo, thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!
