Hi! Newbie here! :)

[mommy2debbieandalan]

Hello, my name is Diana. I am new to these forums though I have lurked here before, if I had any questions or concerns. I finally decided to come out of hiding.:hugegrin: I'm 31, I have a 13-month old son and a 9 yr old daughter. I'm still BF'ing the little one and plan to continue as long as he wants, hopefully sometime before he goes off to college. I don't know anyone (personally) in my circle of fam/friends who has even breastfed this long so it will be good to meet other mommies who think nursing is best. I do get a lot of comments and jokes but I'm not shy to say something back (gotta love that scorpio mouth). Besides introducing myself, I wanted to ask, does anyone know of any nursing covers that are long/big enough for a big, hyper, wriggling baby? I have a hooter hider but my son has no problem ripping it off (he thinks it's funny). Maybe I should make one myself? Anyway, great meeting you all and look fwd to getting to know you all better! :)

Hi Diana...welcome to the boards and WTG for still nursing your LO. My DD is almost 19mo and still nursing strong. It is nice to come here and always know you have full support.

I don't know about the nursing covers. My DD never would allow won to be drapped over her either no matter how big it was. Maybe someone else will have some suggestions.

Look forward to seeing you around.

I never used a nursing cover for either of my boys. I tried in the beginning with ds1, but he would rip anything off by the time he was 2-3 months old. I also learned how to be discrete without a cover so I didn't need one. Sorry if that's not helpful!

Ds2 turned 2 in Feb and is still nursing at least 2-4 times a day. I have no intention of weaning him anytime soon. :)

Hi I'm a Scorpio too I get in to trouble at times for it! My son is 19 month old and not stopping any time soon

I don't know anything about nursing covers. Where are you nursing that you don't want people to see? Is it possible to just pull your shirt down over your breast?

Hi there!

I'm also new here. Also with a 12 month old and two 10 year olds! I love the age difference!

I can't help with a cover as my DD would have it off in seconds, but I have found some wonderful tops... I bought these at H&M for about $20... This is me nursing my daughter...

I'm new here too. I am still nursing my son and he is almost 3 and a half. I too get tired of the stupid remarks, like "isn't it weird he's still doing that?", or my sister taunting my son by saying "little baby wants mommy's booby" (meanwhile her daughter sucked on a pacifier until she was 5) and my old GP telling me to wean my son and put him on the bottle when he was 9 mths because "he doesn't need it anymore, he's old enough for cow's milk". That made me so mad I found a new GP who is thrilled that my extremely healthy, intelligent, and loving little boy is still breast feeding. It is a bond my son is not ready to give up, and while it's mostly for comfort now, it's still providing him with the best I can give him. I've dealt with mastitis, thrush, and obstacles along the way, but wouldn't change a thing :)

Hi
I have been on a hiatus/lurking also. My daughter just turned one and we are still nursing! Everyone keeps bugging me about when we are going to stop and my mother in law teases my 1yrs old (really?!) about wanting mommies milk or when are you going stop? Annoying. I too do not have many friends who have kids so I am on uncharted territory here. Glad I'm back because it's been smooth sailing, but now I'm at the 1yr mark and def need some support.

Sophia loves to nurse still. I love it. ANd she too rips any kind of cover off of use and thinks its hilarious.

Well we're nearly a year on since I last posted on this thread and I'm still nursing Maya too and those tops are a god send when nursing a toddler!!!

Best money I ever spent!

I've learnt to ignore most of the ignorant comments. It does my head in!

I'm nursing a three year old.

There are a lot of good reasons to nurse a toddler, but people who give you a hard time about it don't want to hear it.

That top is awesome.

I will say that the people in my life who were, let's say, less than supportive, are now much nicer to OTHER people who breastfeed. Every silly comment you take and just keep nursing may help some other momma. Keep it up, ladies!
