Okay a facebook friend has posted in her update that she is almost done breastfeeding her baby because she has five teeth. Is there anything I could post to encourage her to continue? Should I mind my business?
If its a close friend I think its ok to message them and let them know they don't have to stop and offer up your resources or info if they ask for it. If it is someone you barely know I would just myob.
I don't know FB very well, but I would privately communicate my willingness to help her out in any way with any problems she might have with BFing. Give techniques for dealing with a teething or chomping baby, otherwise she might freak the first time the baby chews. Tell stories about how glad you were to be able to BF past infancy, how it helped with toddler tantrums etc.
Maybe provide her a link to the extended BF sheet at kellymom (yes I know a teething babe is hardly "extended" but if no one else you knows still BFs, it can seem weird to do).
I figure that she would not have posted it if she did not want someone to comment or contribute. Maybe she just does not have the knowledge. I'd chip in if it were me!
