I think her hairstyle may be confusing you? I mean, she has the basic...face...but it’s all lopsided and not attractive. So I guess she looks like the bizarro-world version of Kim?

You mean like Carrie? 

You know Samantha Markle has Google alerts set for herself and will now go around telling people she gets mistaken for Kim Catrall ALL the time!

If you’re drunk and faceblind, sure, I guess.

Can you imagine the difference in going out for drinks with each of these ladies? I like to think Kim Cattrall would be all bawdy and fun like Samantha Jones after knocking back a couple of cosmos, whereas Meghan’s sister would be one of those weepy drunks that starts sobbing into their cups, going on and on about how …

My kids also “weaned themselves” around the 15 month mark, but I admit I didn’t really feel a ton of nostalgia about it. Maybe it’s because neither were particularly serene or quiet nursers, so I never really viewed it as “special mom and baby time” so much as “a thing we are doing together right now while you also…

My grandmother was 8 years old when she a refugee during WW2. She recalls living in a bombed out train station with about a dozen other people, all women and children, no adult men. Her mother was pregnant when they fled and gave birth in the station. Everyone was starving and my great-grandmother could not produce…

I know I’m wading into a ball pit filled with mousetraps trying to comment on this while being a man... but I knew a woman who was breastfeeding her 4 year old. I remember him finishing with one side and verbally asking his Mom to switch to the other side. And if she refused or told him he was done, he threw a tantrum.

I think one possible line to draw, which you could maybe point to as being less arbitrary, is stopping before your child is old enough to remember breastfeeding. My earliest memories are from when I was about 3 1/2 years old; some may remember a little before that, so 36 months might be a safe point.

To be fair, the WHO tracks nursing in all areas of the world. If you are in an area that is food insecure or who doesn’t regularly have access to proper nutrition, of course you are going to BF as long as you possibly can. In the western world, it is just not necessary for the child.

I BF my twins, (so I have my street…

As the risk of being judged mercilessly, here goes. I still nurse my 3+ year old. To dispel the assumptions: I don’t do it out of some sense of superiority or even because I think it’s “best”. Kid just hasn’t got around to weaning and I haven’t got sick enough of it yet to cut her off completely. I work full time, I…

I’ve had it happen to me, FWIW. Not sure if it’s rare or not. I would think a child of a certain age would be able to distinguish between mother boobs and non-mother boobs, but who knows?

I’ve had it happen with babies... I’ve never come across a breastfeeding three year old, thank god.

Part of the struggle of breastfeeding is that you end up completely living for the express purpose of nursing your kid. You have to watch what you eat and drink. You have to drop what you’re doing and spend a half hour or more doing nothing but nursing (maybe reading a book, but it’s hard to read when the kid is being…

That’s a myth, thank goodness. 

All that time with little to no wine? I can’t imagine. 

Is being named Tracy a requirement for being on Jez’s mommy beat?

I hated being a mom to babies and toddlers. I breastfed each of my kids to a year and a few months, then I was done. When you are pregnant/breastfeeding, your body is not your own anymore, and it made me very annoyed to have put what I wanted to do with my body on hold until the kids were ready to not be so close to…

I feel that anticipatory horror entirely. We have a friend whose son nursed until like...3, I think, and she had to wean him because she wanted to get pregnant again. In contrast, both of my kids kind of weaned themselves around 14-16 months, and it honestly made me a little sad, because I lost not only that special…

If I had to choose, once and for all time, I’d pick McDonald’s over Wendy’s too. Wendy’s just doesn’t deliver the nostalgia that Mickey D’s cheeseburgers, McNuggets, fries, and chocolate shakes deliver, and you can’t put a price on that. It’s like Coke vs. Pepsi; I grew up with Coke so Coke will always win.
