    Sometimes I am tempted to go to my local BF group just to see what sort of response I would get going with a two year old.
    I'm sure you'd get a very positive response. At the BF support group I used to go to, there were a few people feeding well into the 2nd year, and the girl who ran it fed hers until 2-ish.

    I really enjoyed the group, and yes it was nice to feel 'normal' :rotfl:And yes, my DH used to make schoolboy jokes about us whipping 'em out and comparing them! :confused::rolleyes::rotfl:

    3 - I am glad it is not just me who has a baby constantly swinging from a boobie!

    I think for about the first five months all people saw of Celia was the back of her head as she cheerfully sucked away but now she's settled down a lot! :-)

    So we sit around, drink coffee, chat and gossip and support each other and then we get free sandwiches and fruit courtesy of the tax payer :D

    You get sandwiches and fuit! I'm jealous! We've only just recently started getting water, although we did have biscuits last Friday, there were only two of us currently bfing so we hoovered them up! Oooooh I could murder a bourbon now!

    Yup - a continuous one since birth :D he has always been the same, wanting to just sit on the boob all evening.

    Someone has probably already mentioned this as I'm replying as I see stuff, but, cluster feeding in the evenings is really common. Your milk changes to bedtime milk, it goes all creamy and sleep inducing. They feed so much also to try and cram lots in their little tummies so in theory they'll sleep longer, but it never really worked with mine!
