My wife pledged first that she will breastfed our daughter for at least 1.5 year, then until 2 years, and now it's 26th month already and she still persevered to this day. It is surely a sacrifice for the mother, but very important for the health of the child.
- adorton 16y agoIf you don't mind me asking - why so long? Our pediatrician recommended my wife breastfeed our son a year. Beyond that, he said, there are no benefits.
- zargon 16y agoNursing is not a "benefit," it is normal. Forced weaning causes harm (for both mother and child). Not just strictly nutritionally, nursing is very much about physical contact and social relationships too. There's plenty of info if you type a couple words into google. A half century of formula advertising has created a lot of ignorance as fewer people have experience with nursing. http://www.kellymom.com/bf/bfextended/ebf-benefits.html http://www.kellymom.com/bf/bfextended/ebf-benefits.html
