Mpiemont shared a breastfeeding quote as encouragement, and here are two I've come across... Maybe we can collect them in this thread :-)
"People say, `You're still breast-feeding, that's so generous.' Generous, no! It gives me boobs and it takes my thighs away! It's sort of like natural liposuction. I'd carry on breast-feeding for the rest of my life if I could." -- Helena Bonham Carter on still nursing her two-year-old
"If an infant could speak, he would no doubt pronounce the act of sucking at his mother's breast by far the most important in his life." --Sigmund Freud
I found the Freud quote in a Kate Daniels poem:
Re: Breastfeeding Quotes... :-)
A newborn baby has only three demands. They are warmth in the arms of its mother, food from her breasts, and security in the knowledge of her presence. Breastfeeding satisfies all three. ~Grantly ***-Read
While breastfeeding may not seem the right choice for every parent, it is the best choice for every baby. ~Amy Spangler

Nursing does not diminish the beauty of a woman?s breasts; it enhances their charm by making them look lived in and happy. ~Robert A. Heinlein
There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can?t get it. ~Irena Chalmers
If a multinational company developed a product that was a nutritionally balanced and delicious food, a wonder drug that both prevented and treated disease, cost almost nothing to produce and could be delivered in quantities controlled by the consumers? needs, the very announcement of their find would send their shares rocketing to the top of the stock market. The scientists who developed the product would win prizes and the wealth and influence of everyone involved would increase dramatically. Women have been producing such a miraculous substance, breastmilk, since the beginning of human existence. ~Gabrielle Palmer
