How do I respond to people who pressure me to wean my toddler? My mother-in-law is pressuring me to stop breastfeeding my 19-month-old daughter. She says she's too old to nurse and breast milk isn't good for him now that she's over a year old. They also think she behaves too much like a baby and is too attached to me because I nurse her. But we are just not ready to give it up. What should I do?

There are a lot of mothers who are heckled to stop feeding their baby. I too was told to stop feeding when my son was 10 months old but I did not pay heed to anyone. It is very normal to feed the child upto 2 years of age after which you start to wean. You have to wean your child someday but do not let your MIL get to you. Tell her you will when you are ready. Mother's milk helps build your child's basic immunity so how can it not be good for her? Relax and enjoy motherhood :)
