He's teething right now so he's nursing more frequently. I get a lot of flack from my family and friends because they think he's too "big" for nursing but I believe in informed choices and I think I'm making a good choice by nursing him until he weans himself. As much as I'd like to hold this standard up...weaning at a year...it's definitely progressed into extended breastfeeding and I'm okay with that. I'm all for attachment. :) I do believe, he'll grow out of it! My son is 13 mos. and I don’t think he’s going to give it up any time soon. He’s teething right now so he’s nursing more frequently.
