But not such the case...
Once we got the hang of it, breastfeeding was a dream. Not only did I have the opportunity to bond with her in this way, I didn't have to mess around with bottles when I was out and about, only having to carry my Bebe Au Lait nursing cover that I stuffed into my purse (yes, purse, not a diaper bag). My breasts serve as a food source, but they also soothed my fussy baby in public and I was able to enjoy the outside world more often than I imagined.
We have hit the nine month mark and my little one is still breastfeeding.... These days a little more than I care to be doing this. She is starting to play while she is on the breast, which tells me it is time to ween. Now that she can use a cup, I don't nurse her in public (unless she is in rare form). I keep waiting for her to be done - she is so independent and grown up with everything else, why not? But it seems like she wants the boob more than ever.
So what's a mom to do? Do I force her to ween or stick it out until she is done?
