I had to comment again on this subject after hearing many stories of mothers that beastfed well into toddlerhood. It is easy for us to defend ourselves to others that see the benefits of breastfeeding and how natural it is, but when it comes to our over sexualized society it's a whole other matter. You would think in times today of everything that is on our TV's and in the news that people would not be shocked or mortified to see a mother feeding her child. Last time I checked this was a free country, and providing for your children should be of utmost importance to society. I can only hope through education to others about breasfeeding that someday we will not feel the need to hide such a natural thing as feeding our children.
