How do you mark the end of breastfeeding?

While decently written, sufficiently brief and to the point I don’t really agree with the main gist of the article. I mean she admits that maintaining breastfeeding past what is classically accepted as the necessary time is more for the mother than the child, that seems greedy/self centered when decisions should be made with the child’s well being as the main concern.

Key Takeaways:

• My son had difficulty latching. My breasts ached. My nipples bled. I consumed countless episode of Project Runway and House while nursing to distract myself from the pain.
• Somehow, almost without being conscious of it, my son and I fell into a rhythm. Nursing became less of a pain and more of a joy. It was the quiet pause in our overwhelming and unruly days.
• My son’s body grew big, soft, and plump, and I was so proud to have done that.

“Breastfeeding was such a hard-won victory, and I’m grateful I’ve been able to do it for so long. I earned this. These moments with my son curled into my lap, head resting against me, his latch solid and perfect – yes, I greedily seize every second.”
