I made the mistake of telling my mom that I would wean DS at 1yr..she cant wait. But, we are happily nursing day and night on demand. He even eats3 meals..10am it's oat cereal w/fruit, 2:30 it's more fruit w/cheese or yoguart or sweetpotato, 6pm a stage 2-3 meal w/veggie and chicken or salmon...he loves dried cherrios for snack. At 1 yr..next week I'll start him on a one night feeding of Horizon organic milk.
My mom has a hard time holding him and still insist I feed him formula or whole milk and what ever we are eating..which I do not allow...no sugar, junk, or juice just 4-6oz of water. DS is over 30lbs/30.5" by now, wears a 2-3T and some 4t tops and 7w shoes..he was 9.6lbs birth..yes, a big baby but do not look fat, just big for age. Growing out of everything..highchair,carseat..etc.
I cant believe some people in this modern age still think nursing is not best.
What do you tell people when you pass the 1 yr mark..or is it any of thier business?
