Breastfeeding Ari, my 28 months' son, at home.
I have got 4 children and I've breastfed all of them. He's near 3 years old. :)
I have been breastfeeding since 1993 till now. My first daughter, Ângela, from 1993 to 1997; Martim, the second, from 1998 to 2000; Alexandre, the third, from 2000 to 2005 and the last one, Ari, since 2006 to the present.
I have been breastfeeding for 15 years. I am happy and proud to be a breastfeeding mother for such a long time; it pleases me and my children love it.
Although some people do not approve public breastfeeding because they say it is abusive, I feel it's a natural thing (read more about this at http://www.pregnancy-info.net/breastfeeding_public.html).
It makes a child healthier. It is proved and I feel that breastfeeding increases mothers' health too.
Portuguese mothers don't usually breastfeed six months after their babies' birth. So, although I do not want to set any record, I've chosen this is way to show them that breastfeeding is healthy, easy and good.
Today, 13Nov08, I'm still breastfeeding Ari. He's near 34 months old. |
