I breast fed my son for 3 years and 10 months, after which time he suddenly exclaimed
"Yuck, I don't like booby coffee anymore!", and he naturally self-weaned.
I breast fed him in public until he was two years old, and after that time I would explain to him that we would go to a private room to do it. I remember once feeding him on a bench when he was around that age and it started pouring with rain so another mother came over to me with an umbrella and held it over us while I fed him.
I also fed my daughter till 3 years and 7 months and when she was 15 months I breast fed her on the business class of a train, surrounded by men in suits, reading the financial times. I was the only woman there. None of them minded, in fact they were grinning at me.
It's the most natural thing in the world and pretty sad when people can't even bear to see a baby or toddler being fed species appropriate milk.
