My husband and I have both just read your words with absolute understanding
of where you are coming from. He has always been so supportive of our
child's need to get "boobie" when he needed it. It was always more than a
feed, he would sometimes be squarking for whatever reason,
hot/cold/unhappy/out-of-sorts/lonely/needing-company/whatever......he would
say give him the "magic mountains" and the little darling would just roll
his eyes back into his head as he "got on" and before we knew it -- it was
like some kind of electrical discharge with all the angst just
going...going...gone... and he was happy........so happy....

After 7 1/2 years and 4 children, I know with all my heart that
breastfeeding isn't all about food. My last child, 19 mths old, is my
confirmation that when he comes to me for a feed he is seeking so much
more.
Through my milk and the act of feeding, at whatever time, he is getting
his
cup full, food, attention, comfort, confidence, courage, love, the list
just
goes on and on.
I don't need science or education to tell me how suitable breastfeeding on
demand is to a young child.
I know its not eveyones cup of tea, nor an option for some and to be
honest
it can be bloody tiring.
I chose it for my 3rd & 4th boys, the lack of sleep has cost me a lot at
times, but having done the Mum controlled (for want of a better word) and
the child controlled, I choose the latter without a seconds thought.
But that's me and as Brenda said, I'm the expert on me, everyone else
needs
to sort that out for themselves.
As youngest is pulling my hands away from keyboard demanding boob heaven,
See ya
Megan

DAAIRY FARMERS MAY MILK AT THE SAME TIMES EACH DAY, BUT CALVES FEED ALL
THE
TIME, WHENEVER THEY ARE HUNGRY.
AS HUMAN BABIES NEED TO. WHO IS HUNGRY AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY? ALL
ANIMALS FEED AS REQUIRED AND I AM YET TO SEE ONE WITH A WATCH. MAUREEN

Please ignore this post if it's innapropriate, but bit of a controversial

replying at all?
