Disclaimer: I'm really starting to hate my facebook account, lol.
I'm friends with several girls from high school via facebook. I met up with one (M) at a Leche meeting many months ago, when she was having difficulty with her nursing relationship due to a breast surgery. Since then I've been kind of a cheerleader for her, she has called me with questions and freak-outs, etc.
She recently posted that her ds (just shy of one year old) hasn't nursed in the past two days and she's more upset about it than he appears to be. I wrote a little blip about how proud I am that she made it so far, etc. She's had so much to overcome and still wasn't able to nurse exclusively like she wanted to.
A mutual friend of ours (A) wrote on M's wall about how M's ds is a 'big boy' now and he doesn't 'want to be on mommy's breast forever'. So I commented on that, 'I'm still nursing at 2, uh-oh!'
I guess my point just being...that we are all the same age and from similar backgrounds, but it's so sad that a baby at one year old is a big boy and doesn't need his mommy's comfort anymore. One year of nursing is hardly forever, kwim?
Just.... *sigh*
