Finally, the question

On the phone to my dad last night talking about egg passing through bm
(ds has an egg allergy). He says:

So, when you are you going to stop breastfeeding? The tone of his
question was not a positive enquiry. This surprised me as he has shown
no interest whatsoever in William's feeding. Quick as a flash I quoted
the WHO recommendations, told him it was full of good stuff, that he
was an old fogey and I had just educated him. He laughed and conceded
defeat. I said that he doesn't actually drink much anymore (5 mins 3
times a day) and that I was happy to do it as long as he was. I don't
think he will reach 18 months mind.

It was odd because although I go to my family for advice they don't
usually question my decisions, so for it to come from my dad especially
was strange. Mind you, we don't call him Victorian Dad for nothing.
Also, no-one else in my family or anyone we know bf'd for more than a
year, so I'm setting a precedent. I can safely say it probably wouldn't
have been the case if I had hung out on m.k.b for the last year, as I
might have thought it odd to keep going? So cheers one and all!
