I agree
Quote From: dnash24I also just understand what teeth has to do with anything! My daughter got teeth early...4 months old...does that mean I should stop breastfeeding her? I certainly don't think so. As others have pointed out ther benefits of breastfeeding never end. Not only does the American Academy of Pediatrics recomend BF until AT LEAST 12 monthes, the World Health Organization recommends BF until AT LEAST 2 years. American's have set up a stitgma about BF and it is amazing to me that more people don't give their children gift of mother's milk. When there are so many issues in parenting that are debatable, BF is the one thing we KNOW for fact is the best thing we can give our children for nurishment. I am also a proud member of La Leche League, I BF in public and never think twice about it. In addition to nursing my 6 month old daughter when ever she is hungry no matter where we happen to be, my 3 year old son still nurses when he goes to sleep and when he is injured. I am greatful that I can provide both of my children with nurishment and a lot of comfort. I agree. And I think the more women nurse their children (yes children, not just the 2 month old infants) in public, the more people will see it as normal. I nurse in public a lot with my 16 month old current nursling and I always smile at other mothers who are nursing in public.
