My in-laws used to criticize me that my daughter would grow up "shy" or "clingy" because I carry her and stay close to her whenever she wants. They don't understand that the world can be scary place for a baby used to the security of the womb. They didn't understand that my daughter would reach out and explore on her own when she's ready, not before. Now that she's almost 2, they're amazed at how independent and self-reliant she is. She loves to explore and try out new things because she's secure in the knowledge that her parents are there, not because she's used to being by herself.Jamie_jjvmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121173822049238761.post-70873100876243881082011-11-19T00:13:19.166+08:002011-11-19T00:13:19.166+08:00wait, wait, wait... haha, napaisip ako sa apat, da...wait, wait, wait... haha, napaisip ako sa apat, dapat :D<br /><br />apat dapat para tapat? ganun? :) but since baka bunso ko na nga si Yamee... i might just really play this one by earand let it drag and drag and drag till he weans himself :)Mec Camitan Arevalohttp://www.facebook.com/Mecarevalonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121173822049238761.post-8192053381423453802011-11-10T21:57:50.611+08:002011-11-10T21:57:50.611+08:00I think, as long as you are comfortable with it, c...I think, as long as you are comfortable with it, continue to breastfeed as long as you need. I just weaned my 3 year old (admittedly because of the stigma of breastfeeding a 3 year old). But what helped me to keep on and what helped to keep him healthy was that I practiced good nutrition. Keep following a good nutritious breastfeeding diet the entire time and there shouldn't be any issues.Maddiehttp://www.breastfeeding-magazine.com/breastfeeding-diet.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121173822049238761.post-36628891752768605392011-11-09T02:58:53.138+08:002011-11-09T02:58:53.138+08:00don't feel too bad mariel! i also weaned N bec...don't feel too bad mariel! i also weaned N because it got painful when i was already pregnant. by then i think she was also ready since it didn't take us long for her to be completely weaned.

Unfortunately my body didn't cooperate with me. Oh and recently read (and wrote) about this article on a study by WHO stating that breastfeeding rates here in the Phils is lower because of milk formula ads. Here it is in case anyone is interested: http://bit.ly/uJhIRc Thanks for your post.AnneMhttp://www.greeneggsandmoms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121173822049238761.post-76245264208355574912011-11-05T20:52:09.050+08:002011-11-05T20:52:09.050+08:00I super like this post, and I am now looking forwa...I super like this post, and I am now looking forward to breastfeed my turning 1 little boy more and more.

At times it is tiring, but I am glad that I am still able to give him milk and nurture him this way; why would I stop when my body is obviously not letting up? :) I am so encouraged by the research, too, that extended breastfed babies are more secure in themselves; that's a big plus.
