BREAST IS STILL BEST

Thank you for your positive article ‘I never imagined I’d breastfeed for four years’ (27 Aug). Like Tamara, I didn’t intend to breastfeed for longer than a year, but I’m still feeding my almost three-year-old! Sadly, the older my son has grown, the more negativity I’ve received. Women’s bodies are sexualised so much in our society that many people can’t seem to understand breasts being used as something other than objects of entertainment for men. It is natural for some toddlers to want to carry on nursing past infancy and, though it’s draining at times, it has many benefits. Chloe
