Are They Brave Enough?
I breastfed Isabelle for 1 1/2 years, Ilysse for 3 1/2 years, and am still breastfeeding Mio at 2. Wanted to wean him but with the controversial TIME magazine article on breastfeeding entitled, "Are You Mom Enough?", which elicited more negative reactions, I have decided not to. It all boils down to respect. I don't react when I see mothers giving their newborn babies infant formula. Why should mothers be criticized for extended breastfeeding when they are just doing what they believe in?
