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?

Good for you, your baby is already 19months old when your in law told you to stop BF. My in law wants me to stop BF my baby when she was only a month old. They want her to drink the formula that they bought. I explained to them the benefits of BF but still they didnt listen. I just smile at them and continue BF my daughter. I also bought breast pump to show them that I am serious with BF.
