Are Breastfeeding Toddlers Too Old?
by Shun Smith
Breastfeeding toddlers might be fun and sometimes not too fun when it comes to breastfeeding.
It's completely normal to breastfeed your toddler, just in case you were wondering. You'd be blown away to know the number of moms which might be still breastfeeding toddlers.
A lot!
Although in Western society, it's not always accepted as the norm.
The breast has become sexualized so much to the point where if people see you nursing your toddler, they are disgusted.
That's why you don't see as many moms breastfeeding toddlers in public. Which is a shame.
A number of the fun parts of have breastfeeding toddlers are:
* Seeing how happy they are when they get to nurse. There's obviously something else occurring here besides just getting nutrition. There's some type of bonding that's happening and now your toddler can express his gratitude as good as he could like a baby.
Sometimes when my breastfeeding toddlers (I've had 3) asks to nurse (he states "I wanna nur nur"), when I say okay and start preparing myself to select them up to nurse, they begin jumping around in circles dancing and singing to exhibit how happy they're!
* Watching them twist and switch their body in different positions to play while still nursing. Of course this can be irritating if you just want them to nurse and be done. The fun part is seeing them try and reach something or play or turn their scalp to look at something or watch T.V., all while still holding the nipple within their mouth. Can they reach it? It form of turns into a game! Breastfeeding Toddlers Need You!
Stay Home with Them a Little Longer
* Holding a conversation with them while nursing. You can already barely understand your toddler as it is, but they don't care, they'll still hold a discussion with you with the nipple within their mouth. "Say one". "Hello". It's so funny!
* You are able to tell them to wait to nurse if you're not ready. Your baby is willing to wait until you get done doing what you're doing, particularly if you distract him with something else.
* They say they're done nursing. Sometimes when my son is conducted nursing he'll say "done" or "nah" and after that pulls my shirt down to cover my breast.
* To be able to easily comfort them when they're afraid, slip, or hurt themselves. Needless to say a hug will perform, but a breastfeeding toddler contains the ultimate comfort whenever a mom breastfeeds him during these times.
You're comforting him in a way that only you can, something they've become employed to and familiar with since the beginning. Not to mention being able to still nourish him when he's sick and doesn't want anything else to eat.
* When they become picky with all the breast. It's funny once i offer my son one breast to nurse on anf the husband insist on taking the other one instead. What's so excellent about the other one at that point in time, I have not a clue! And of course there are times when you wished your youngster just didn't want to nurse only at that particular time.
Necessities such as not so fun occasions when breastfeeding toddlers:
* When they get aggressive if you say no, not right now. Especially when you're in public. Sometimes breastfeeding toddlers will just come and pull your breast out, then when you say you don't desire to nurse right now, they are able to get very aggressive to the point of hitting you and falling out in clumps crying.
If you don't want to nurse your toddler in public, you have to know their reactions and discover how to deal with them in your house before you go out, that way you'll convey more control over the situation when you're abroad.
* Sometimes having to reteach basic principles of latching on. Fundamental essentials times when they latch on and you are feeling something sharp on the breast, which actually is their teeth.
And also this happened only because they're a professional at breastfeeding now, so they really don't need to open their mouth wide anymore to get the whole thing in, which experts claim hurts you! This is where you have to tell them permit go and open their mouth wide on this occasion.
* The looks and comments you will get from strangers and in all likelihood relatives (including spouse). Should you thought you received negative looks and comments if you were breastfeeding baby, try breastfeeding a toddler in front of everyone. You won't hear the end of it from your relatives!
One among my cousins nursed her daughter until she was 4 . Today, everyone in the family still calls her "titty baby", and she's 13 yrs . old!
And if your spouse seems like your toddler is "too old" being still nursing, you'll get "dirty" looks in your own home.
After i started weaning my first son as he was two years old, my better half was right there to be sure it happened. I could to explain to him it's a gradual process, while he wanted the child to avoid nursing the moment he turned two!
He got on our son much about nursing which i just started secretly nursing him as he wasn't around.
I know, horrible. But which was the only way I could undertake it without hearing his mouth about this.
As you can see, Breastfeeding Toddlers aren't So Sad.
They've got their moments the same as everyone else, and can be fun and entertaining in additional ways than As you have seen, breastfeeding toddlers one.
So if you have any doubts about breastfeeding toddlers, give it a go! You might have more fun than you imagined!
