I love going to the doctor's.
So I just went to the Dr's because I had some wierd rash on my breast (I actually belive I'm fine but I'm under a lot of pressure right now and am prone to anxiety-induced wierd rashes) Ds was with me.
So the dr's looking at it with this sort of hesitant approach he touches it... He looked terrified. seriously. (and ds got a really weird look like whoa, those are MINE)
So we talk a little and it finally clicks that i'm there with a 2.5 year old but no baby.
Dr: so HE's the one nursing? (really long pause) Two and a half eh. two and a half year old boy yep. two and a half.
We talk about the rash a little then he says its probably ok.
REALLY long pause.
Dr: you know, I think it would be ok to offer him some solids now, to give you a bit of a rest.

(sorry if anyone has dc that exclusively nurse at 2, but my ds eats as much as I do. seriously.)

Too funny!
My 19 month old DS eats like a linebacker. And, since my colostrum came in a week or so ago, also nurses like a newborn.

Omigosh-- it never occurred to me that people think it's an either/or thing!

That's actually kind of cute isn't it? The closest I got to that was when dd was an infant and MIL would ask if we were going to give her food yet. Um, no, I've been starving her all this time. I don't know why she didn't equate bm with food.

Too funny! He must have been biting his tounge so hard!!! Yeah to him for at least staying professional though.

People have asked me that, too! It's so weird, of course my 3 yr. old eats other foods (most days, not so much since baby 2 came along

: ).
At the doctor's office for his 3 yr. checkup they told me he would "be okay if he nursed less", no kidding!

I'm certainly not forcing him to the breast and withholding nutritious, non-mommy options!
