Welcome Lori!
As a young mother, I was surprised to see older babies nursing, and then
ended up with a few extended breastfeeders myself!
My 3rd was still nursing well into toddlerhood and beyond. My friend was
horrified, and couldn't imagine why I would permit this. My son was, and is,
an intense child. He was in the midst of a total meltdown (at age 3) and I
scooped him up, nursed him for a few seconds and he fell asleep. Needless to
say, my friend was convinced that this was a parenting tool she wouldn't
mind having!
I was one of the fortunate women whose cycles didn't start back until later
(about 15 months post partum), and my weight was always lower while I was
nursing. Certainly these are surface benefits, but they are important to a
busy mom!
Best wishes to you and for your studies!
