Blessed Nest Perch~ Breastfeeding~736 Days and Counting

Today's post written by Integrative Mom

For those of you who over the course of the last 17 months have written to ask me how long I planned to breastfeed my son- I made it to two years!

And quite honestly, I don’t see an end in sight anytime soon.

Now my biggest hurdle is knowing what to say when friends, family, and perfect strangers ask me that question they’ve asked since he was 6 months old. I suppose since only 27% of moms are still breastfeeding past 6 months of age, it is definitely not the norm to see a mom of a toddler whip out a nursing cover during lunch at a restaurant.

But since the World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for at least the first two years of life, I had always planned to make it this far.

And though it hasn’t always been easy, it has flown by and I find it to be very convenient…and since I see no signs of slowing down, tapering off, or loss of interest, you might find me in Mongolia.
