We spent the afternoon with a friend and her daughters (5 and 7yrs) recently. One of my 11 mos old twins was sitting in my lap nursing and the other in my friend's lap. The older girls also wanted to sit in our laps so we made room. The girls have always been curious about breastfeeding and I've always encouraged them to watch if they like. The 7 yr old sat with me and DS and of her own accord, took my breast in her hand and encouraged DS to nurse more when he got distracted. It was an incredibly tender moment and I felt so happy that the girls feel that breastfeeding is a beautiful and totally normal activity.
