  • well if Kourtney can make it that long, anyone can

  • Hmm

    I mean, good for her that she BF'd her son to a year... but it doesn't sound like she even really wanted to stop, but rather gave into the pressure of everyone asking when she would and weaning him to cows/goats milk. I guess I shouldn't judge, b/c I weaned DS at 6m, b/c that was when all the books said you should at least BF till... then I realized with DD that it was a minimum recommendation, and that by no means did it mean I had to stop! I wish there were more high profile extended BFing mamas out there, so those of us who do choose to nurse our children until they wean themselves won't be looked upon as freakazoids.

  • I think that was very sweet and I actually have a little bit more respect for her now....very, very small amount....
  • I am a Kardashian fan and I read that earlier. I thought it was sweet and it summed it up for me with BFing too. And for what it's worth I think he is over 1 year so I guess it could be considered "extended breastfeeding".

  • Good for her! I also think that if stories like this continue, those that BF to a year won't look quite so much like freaks!

  • I never thought she would make me cry, but she just did.

    I'm sad that she stopped because of pressure to do so. It didn't seem like she really wanted to wean.

    I've been breastfeeding for 14 months and I've yet to get any negative comments. If anything, people have been really positive about it. I've been pleasantly surprised. :-)

  • That was a very sweet post. Short, but still very sweet. Good for both her and Mason.

    I am sorry if I offended anyone-- I am also someone who BF past a year. While I didn't get negative comments, I did get, "Really?" kind of comments. So neutral I guess!

    Oh no! You didn't offend me at all. :-) Like I said, I'm actually surprised that I haven't gotten any of those comments yet. No bad feelings here.

    Um, not me.  Mine came to the conclusion that they are merely decorative.

  • That's pretty awesome. I wish I had been able to nurse longer and hope it works out better next time. Kudos to those of you who are still nursing. :)
  • Aw, that was such a sweet note! I am kind of surprised that she bf for so long! I can only hope that is what happens when my DD and I stop! Thanks for sharing!
  • That was actually very beautiful what she wrote.  :)  She certainly made more of an effort than I ever did!

    I think she's the most human of the three sisters.  I don't watch the shows or anything, but I read Us Weekly, so I know all about them.

    Yeah pretty much this. I am very happy that someone "famous" is making breastfeeding seem awesome though so I can't fault her for sharing her experience. I just feel bad because I think she should have and could have and probably wanted to continue longer. Not taking this away from her though. Something to be very  proud of!

  • That's nice she was able to nurse him that long and had such a positive experience with it. I hope to be able to BF longer next time.

    I agree, sounds like she was pressured to stop, but both didn't sound ready to do so.
