Okay, so some of these are a little snippy and not-so-nice, but sometimes that attitude would apply. Do try and be polite to people who are simply misinformed, but be as snotty as you like to people who just won't mind their own business!

Are you STILL nursing?

Of course, I wouldn't dare ask someone else to do it for me!

What do you mean still? The bare minimum is two years!

Obviously. ..Are you STILL afraid of seeing a breast? (a good one for someone looking at you nursing with a disgusted look on their face)

Yep! The equipment is still in operation.

Yep! He's still my child, isn't he?

Of course! He still needs his mommy!

Absolutely! It's a great way for both of us to take a break!

Actually, he's the one doing the nursing, I just sit here.

When are you going to wean?

I weaned a long time ago, when I was two I think.

(pause) Oh, you were talking to me? I thought you were asking him...he can't answer you yet.

Weaning isn't even in his vocabulary yet.

Not sure, I hope he is allowed to nurse as long as he likes.

Oh...sometime in the future. (be vague, it gets them every time!)

I suppose whenever he stops nursing, that would be a good time.

That's funny, I was going to ask you when are you planning on going vegetarian (or something equally as ridiculous to ask)

Isn't he a little old for that?

(while nursing) Apparently not, the equipment still works for him.

(surprised) What?! He isn't even out of diapers!

I used to think like you, but then I nursed a baby for the first time and all the rules changed.

His doctor didn't think so.

Aren't you a little old to be wearing those jeans?

Nope, he's only three, that's not very old considering he'll live to be 100 or so.

Obviously he isn't.

If I thought that way, would I still do it?

No, I don't think he is, do you? (if they say "yes" then answer, "well, then, you already had your answer didn't you")

He doesn't NEED to nurse at this age!

He doesn't need his teddy bear either and but we still give it to him

Maybe not, why don't you read up on it for me. Maybe you can find out if there is an expiration date for my milk.

Only HE knows what he needs and obviously he still needs it.

(laugh) Where did you hear that?

Shhh - not in front of him, you'll make him feel bad. (then later say "I would prefer it if you wouldn't talk about nursing in front of the baby. How would you feel if someone was telling you that you were too old for something?")

He can HEAR you, you know.

And you don't NEED to eat that doughnut, but you still are.

He should be drinking cow's milk from a cup by now.

I am sure he knows how, but if you were him, which would you prefer?

Why? Are we raising him to be a cow?

He likes human milk from these cups better at the moment.

I would like to see where that "rule" is written down.

Why? Human milk is made for humans...and it's free!

And you should be OVER the whole thing by now, are you still afraid of a breastfeeding child?
