DH was not thrilled but as a researcher himself, he understood my reasons for setting the goal. Like everything else with my parenting style, he just goes along as long as DD is happy and healthy. Now it's been a few months that we passed the comfortable with breastfeeding in public phase. It kinda wigged us both out for a bit but after seeing so much controversy surrounding NIP, I think we're both back on the NIP bandwagon. If you want to say something to my big black DH go for it. So we're NIP to help other couples with NIP. So I proudly breastfeed a 2-year-old in public without a cover.
At this point, DD and I are still nursing. My mom told DD no more boob and DD had a total meltdown! I mean a serious panic attack. Needless to say she's more attached to the boobs than before. So I don't think we'll be weaning anytime soon. In case you are wondering, DD nurses about 5 - 6 time a day. Perfectly normal and totally do able. Some days she might nurse just 4 times, some days it can be like 8. Everything from here on out is golden. When will we stop nursing? I have no clue. Moving forward it's all on DD. We'll stop when she is ready. I met my goal so now I'll just listen to my DD.
