I think I may have had my first big lactivist moment today! I was buying breast pads at Walmart with DD. The lady at the register said "How old is your youngest?" and I said "18 months -- this is my only child." I kind of knew what she was getting at... and then she said "Oh... so you are still doing the milk and food thing...?" and I said "Do you mean nursing? Yes, we are." and she said "Are you transitioning then?" and I said "No I'm not -- I'm going to keep nursing her until 2 probably.. maybe longer.. I don't know...we'll see."
She thought about it for a moment, and then said "Well, it is really good for the babies, isn't it..." and I said "Yes, it's very good for her."
I normally don't get an opportunity like that to actually discuss what I am doing and the merits of BFing. My lactivism usually consists of NIP and trying to help friends w/ any BFing issues they have.
So that was exciting!
Just wanted to share.
