For what, I'm not sure. That's what my MIL said when we recently visited. She said, "You're *still* breastfeeding her?" (DD ws only 17 months when we were there) and I said, "Yes." MIL said, "Well, she eats good enough...." As if the fact that she eats food means that she shouldn't nurse anymore. It's especially frustrating since DD has a severe allergy to both dairy and soy, so it isn't like there is any other substitute for breastmilk for her! I would CLW even if she didn't have allergies, but you'd think people would be more understanding under the circumstances! I had thought they weren't ever going to comment on it, but it seems that they're already starting.
