My nephew turns 1 in January and already every one around her is telling her prepare him for weaning of breast feeding completely. She wants to carry on feeding for at least another six months of not another year. Any one else here who had to deal with family pressures to stop breastfeeding when baby turned 1?

Yeah, i had a (swinging single) girlfriend who joked "so you're planning to breastfeed till she turns 13??" I didnt know how to react to that and just smiled. No pt explaining, i feel. My parents are okay just that my mum is worried about my health since nursing can be tiring. In law's didn't say much too, so the pressure wasn't too bad from internal, more external when they see mums breastfeeding a toddler.
