I'm a mature mum at 42 years of age with a 3-1/2 year old son, Lucas. Call me selfish but breastfeeding him gives me the extra edge over the spouse as Lucas and I share a special bond no one else can enjoy with him!    There was never a doubt that I would breastfeed him. I had lost a baby at 22 weeks gestation, just 5 months prior to conceiving Lucas, and developed severe engorgement the day after delivery. The tremendous irony of having milk then but no baby to feed left a heavy weight in my heart. I also knew then with a strong conviction, that size did not matter! I prepared myself by spending many hours reading books and scouring the internet for articles about breastfeeding. Yet, nothing quite prepares you for the real deal.

We are still a breastfeeding pair simply because I chose to adopt a “WILL DO” attitude and knew where to turn to for support. Now the biggest challenge is to manage the raised eyebrows of family and friends when I tell them I'm still breastfeeding!
