The following was on AOL parenting site.  She, and so many other moms, 
persevere despite public opinion.....it is nice to see positive statements on 
breastfeeding and hopefully these help influence women to breastfeed longer, knowing 
that they're not alone with the negative attitude toward toddler nursing.  
And besides, 2 yr and 3 mos is a bit shy of what's normal duration on the low 
end, right?

"I breastfed my daughter for two years and three months. The biggest obstacle 
for me was, sadly, public opinion. After my daughter was toddling, people 
felt free to volunteer that it was time to wrap it up."
