And she said, "At 26!" [rofl]

I think not! But that is sure funny!

Just goes to show how kids have no concept of time. :D

HAHAHAHA! that is too funny!

And she said, "At 26!" [rofl]

Sooo funny!! [rotfl] And totally cute, too! [girlsmiley]

Okay, even funnier... Can you even IMAGINE what your boobs would look like after 26 years of nursing?!? You'd have to tie them in a bow at the back of your neck to keep from tripping over them! LOL!! [rofl] [rotfl]

Ohhh, the sacrifices we make for our babes.... :razz:

Very funny ... but the question is: would you nurse her that long??? :) he he he

Natalia was always fed from the bottle... the breastfeeding has always been more to help her sleep, for comfort, etc...

I am so TRAPPED IN IT though! She won't take a nap unless I nurse her! she wants to be always grabbing my boobs! They are not even mine anymore! Even if she is drinking water from a sippy cup she wants to get her hand inside my shirt and squeeze me [sadashamed][sadashamed]

what can I do??? the doctor tells me to just say no and that she will eventually understand... She wants to nurse all day long... for anything... she is happy she wants my boob, she is sad she wants my boob, for any reason she wants to be sucking the life out of me! It's painful... I barely have any milk but she keeps coming to me all the time! I feel horrible because I try to keep her away and she cries not even upset is more like she is devastated...

I know I take advantage of most threads that others create (LOL!!!) but ... I saw this as a good opportunity to ask... WHAT DO I DO??? I don't even want Hubby to "have fun" because I can't stand anybody touching me!

The other day we went on a date... and when we were going to get our food (in a buffet) he said... (TMI) ... Did u see what I was doing? I said: NO, what? He said (I was walking very close to you on purpose to touch your boobs with my arm) I said: huh! I didn't even notice!

ugh!!! and if I had noticed I would've probably moved away! My boobs are tired and they don't feel anything anymore (sometimes only pain)... they are just Natalia's toy!

Oh, Paloma, I'm sorry. It can be so hard. Let me just say that it's good to have boundaries. 18 months is old enough for your sweet little girl to begin to self pacify at times. At some point, they're going to hurt when you say 'no' to one thing or another. 'No' hurts, but we need to get used to it in life. Even God, the one perfect parent, says 'no' to things that appear to be wonderful at the time. Just because something is good, doesn't mean it's good for us at that moment. Our babes need to learn this, too. It gets harder the older they get if they don't learn it pretty early on. And, 'no' can be just as hard on Mommy. Be brave, and be prayerful when setting healthy boundaries. You and Natalia will both be blessed in the long run. [hug]

too funny, Ruth!!!! Thanks for the laugh,...

I totally agree with Joy. You have to set boundaries. I know that my DD is older than yours, but the same principles apply. I restrict mine to nursing at bedtime only (usually, that is, there are exceptions). If she asks another time, well, tough luck! I distract her and do something else with her.

Sooo funny!! [rotfl] And totally cute, too! [girlsmiley]

Oh, you're not a kiddin'! LOL. 26 years of nursing. Wow. Hard to imagine.

Luckily things take care of themselves, kids don't want to nurse after a certain point. And if she needs gentle nudging, I'll be glad to explain to her why she can't take a thermos of breastmilk to school. [rofl]

Being that she only usually nurses once a day and that I'm feeling more and more "done", I'm pretty sure that she won't be nursing forever. It's funny, though, to hear her perspective.

Your hubby should be happy about that, she won't get many date if she has to be home befor mommy goes to bed so she can nurse:).

Have you seen the youtube video of the, I believe, eight year old who still nurses? they would draw pictures of their moms boobs and had names for them....I will find it...it is pretty interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxv6R9fUO74

teehee- super cute and wonderful all at the same time. . .I hope to nurse this next one till he/she is old enough to say the same type of thing=)

oh my! I didn't like that video! It made me want to stop breastfeeding Natalia right away! .... sorry but I found it quite disturbing

Paloma.

Haha. I though it was too. I think everyone can figure out when to wean themselves...but I don't think I would EVER nurse an 8 year old. that is a little too attached for me.

You are absolutely right! "a little" too attached!

I mean... I know everybody is different... but 8 yrs. old??? I wouldn't do it for many reasons... including that I wouldn't want my kid to be made fun of ... you know? Kids can be too cruel sometimes....

Just goes to show how kids have no concept of time. :D

ask her how many days away that is ;)

Robert said something wasn't going to happen until a LONG TIME... a YEAR! he then said a year is 10 days. [clapping]

Ruth, at least she gave you an ending time and didn't say something like "I'm never gonna stop". LoL.

I was thinking the same thing as Rach. Hannah's perspective of 26 could mean her next birthday or when she starts school??
