I have been concerned about being "turned in," particularly because I
nursed my older child far longer than anyone I knew. He weaned four
days before he turned 6.5 years old. I do not admit this anywhere but
here, generally by telling inquirers that it is his business, not mine.
They drop the subject, because they are not nosy enough to ask him
directly :) I quit nursing him in public at age 3. I figured I could
quote the WHO and say I was nursing a two year old until then. I have
just now stopped nursing my 3.5yo daughter in public. In fact,
yesterday was the first time ever that we did not nurse at Mass, and
instead she chose to run up almost to the altar and make rude noises
during the homily. Sigh. It was such a useful parenting tool.
Now that I am homeschooling full-time, *and* extended nursing, I feel
like I need to fly under the radar as much as possible. On a personal,
woman-to-woman level, I don't care, but nosy outsiders do worry me.
