Quoted from the article- The one thing that still manages to shame me is the fact that I am still breastfeeding my almost 21 month old son. On the one hand, I DO feel absolutely certain that this is the right move for us. It may not be the right choice for everyone, but it is for my family. On the other hand, I can’t help but feel ashamed when I hear people speak against it or watch their surprised reactions when they learn that my son is still nursing. I have heard my own father (whom I have chosen not to inform of my decision) express disgust at the idea of it. The nurses at my pediatrician’s office seemed baffled by the fact that we were still at it. There are articles bashing extended nursing, and don’t get me started on the comments sections. This one, written by a doctor, calls it ” self-indulgent and possibly narcissistic.”
