"Breastfeeding for me is an opportunity to allow motherhood to take center stage and to submit to the process of life and embrace the experiences that occur during this stage of motherhood. The best part of extended breastfeeding has got to be the calming effect it delivers, for me and my child. It can stop tantrums dead in their tracks or help a tired little one fall asleep faster. It also forces me to take those much needed breaks from a to-do list that sometimes seem too long.
The most challenging part [centers] around people's concerns for when we will stop. Many times these individuals are just curious, but it bothers me that our society has become so unaccustomed to mothers providing physical nourishment and comfort to their child once they've reached a certain age." — Karina Moran (and Kari-Anna, 3)
