summer storytime
I love this.
Our local library holds a summer storytime session
For the kids.
My very smart 2 year old loves this, too.
We went to the first one this morning.
Stories, song, dance
She was into it all
She hasn't quite mastered
Hopping up and down yet
But she improvises
She's usually with kids the same age as she is
In programs just for her age group
But these are for kids 6 and under
She was mesmerized watching them all
And me?
What was taking my attention
Away from "Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes"
at
Summer Storytime?
A nursing child.
Now, don't get me wrong
I nursed my very smart 2 year old
Up until she was a very smart 1 year old
A full year
I was very proud of myself
But never in public
I just didn't feel comfortable
But some do
And that's fine
There isn't a thing wrong with breastfeeding your infant
When they are hungry
But, I think when your child
IS old enough to jump up and down
Can follow "Head & Shoulders" perfectly
And speak in full sentences
And isn't wearing a diaper anymore
When your child is old enough
To say
"Mommy, I'm thirsty"
Whips your shirt up
And nurses
Right there
in
Summer storytime
That's too old.
Just my opinion
It's my blog
And I'll say what I wanna
That is just too old.

I know it is done and especially in impoverished nations.
I do agree with you though. Hopefully she will stop before puberty.
I think kids older than three need more nutrition than mom's milk. I am sure this child eats regular meals as well, but water is necessary and occasionally juice.
It must be handy though! LOL
Mother's pump their milk for bottles when out in public when they feel uncomfortable nursing in public..( I was one of those Mother's)...so why can't she pump this milk into a sippy cup. I 100% agree that this child is way too old for hanging on a nipple either at home or in public.
I agree, too old. My motto is "if they are old enough to ask for it, they are too old"
I'm with the crowd on this one. When she's naming the body parts, that is old enough not to be asking for one.
