You should be proud of yourself for still nursing your precious little guy as in my opinion is Crucial for a toddler to maintain that bond. IT benefits little ones soo much-emotionally, and helps them to learn to trust and find comfort and stability. However there does come a time where "rules" may need to be integrated.and you are absolutely right-BOUNDARIES are a must and the child ought to learn them and respect you as their mother to obey them and training their hearts is an important part of mothering them. <br />I can honestly say that each and every one of our children have done the tantrum thing and their WILLS are very evident and blooming at this age....and it is our job to guide and help them learn to "control" themselves and their strong passionate wills into what is good, wholesome and right.<br />I am confident you and little Jonah will work this out together in love and that you will be able to continue to nurture and meet his needs in this special way. IT is best..and God's design for babies to still NEED their mothers and still depend on them for soo long. its amazing, and wonderful and altogether very humbling!!<br />this is coming from a mother's heart...<br />in Him,<br />NikiyahNikiyahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515359022942854661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503642467845410709.post-12637977710384422532010-05-19T13:22:49.203-07:002010-05-19T13:22:49.203-07:00jess - after being with you guys last night and ex...jess - after being with you guys last night and experiencing Jonah's "addiction" first hand, my prayers will be with you daily! haha. I say that in a lighthearted but serious manner. I know your heart is so torn by this. And while I believe it's ok to nurse as long as you need, this may be an entirely different issue your dealing with. I know i'm not a seasoned mother or a nurser, but maybe your dealing him throwing a massive tantrum because he wants something and he knows if he throws it long enough, he will get his way. Maybe? I'm not sure. But my prayers are most definitely with you and I'm always hear to listen and encourage! love you bunches. Jonah is SO lucky you are his mother!!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119097158045706401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503642467845410709.post-8243298736204249962010-05-19T11:42:58.568-07:002010-05-19T11:42:58.568-07:00Please post about your journey.

Be it, nursing, the pacifier, sharing, potty training. A very wise and seasoned mother once told me,"don't worry, they won't go to college nursing or in diapers". A little light-hearted I know, but its all in your and Jonah's comforts. You are a wonderful mother!Nicole McDougalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13006052557883964684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503642467845410709.post-32547961655337121522010-05-18T23:04:00.181-07:002010-05-18T23:04:00.181-07:00I think it is awesome for you to nurse your child ...I think it is awesome for you to nurse your child for however long you want :).
