A mother's dilemma

A recent study in UK shows that extended breastfeeding benefits babies a lot, even when the babies reach adulthood. So I shared the study with hubby who is always a no.1 supporter of breastfeeding. The reason I say him ultra-supportive is, xuan will tell hubby how much he wants nen-nen and regardless of how busy hubby and I are, hubby's answer will always be, Go!! Go!! Have your nen-nen!! I'm clueless of his reply because he seems so confident that I will allow Xuan to have my milk. Firstly, how can he be so affirmed while the breasts do not belong to him at all. Secondly, it's the kids who come to me, latching on me while moving their butts around. They just cannot sit still. Thirdly, while they are enjoying their milk and at the same time shoving their butts, I become a mother who loses patience and can't wait for the nursing sessions to end. Then in my heart, I begin to question hubby's rationale for allowing Xuan to be breastfed for so long. Lastly, when I stare at hubby for his standard reply to Xuan. He will throw this at me, I wish I could help you but I do not have nen-nen.

But then again, it comes back to me as a mother of these two kiddos. I have a choice to reject them. But I do not. So I do not have an answer for when is the best time to wean Xuan.
