I think there are a lot of benefits to extended breastfeeding and breastfeeding a toddler. Most importantly, it's not for nourishment anymore. It's for closeness, it's for that connection, it's that time that they can take that they get you all to yourself, you are completely there with them, you're totally present with them, and they feel that security. And I feel that security; when things are crazy and it's nuts and I'm feeling at my wit's end and my toddler then gives me the sign for milk or asks me to nurse, I have to sit down, I have to take that time and it always makes me feel better, because there's just nothing better than holding my child and knowing that I'm giving them that comfort that they're seeking.
