Good on her ! I breastfed my son also for quite a long time, till he was ready to stop. I didn’t throw a weaning party though

I’ve never heard of this type of celebration before!

It’s up to the Mother if she is willing to keep breastfeeding it’s no-one else’s business. I think this was an ingenious way to get her daughter to stop and it worked. There’s no harm done.

The nappies are great although the tabs could a more sticky or larger. I’ve recently come across the wipes and have been converted.

Just let them me on their unique journey. Why the strong opinions.

Has no one even read the article? It wasn’t about the party, it was to tell her to stop now in a way she understood.

It seems frivolous, but it might be a good idea for my son…

Im sorry but this is way over the top, is it celebrating that the child weaned (big deal) or the parent now has freedom, unless we stop with all this child is the centre of the universe mentality we will never have children that grow into confident and self aware adults that can deal with lifes ups and downs.

Good on them, If they feel loved and have a healthy and secure environment for their children then that should be celebrated.

What a milestone for that family that they can celebrate if they wish. I don’t see why other people need to comment on what others do.
Sincerely – a mother who has only bottle fed.

I stopped breastfeeding at 9 months because my bub wasn’t interested. I can’t see myself doing it for 3 years so hats off to that mum. The party part is just an excuse to celebrate, everyone is entitled to do what they please.

I see nothing wrong with celebrating milestones. And breastfeeding for that long would have made me crazy, but I don’t see why we should criticise her if it worked for her.

Weaning only in America
Here in Australia we breast feed and we don’t have crazy party’s like that here
Thank god we have a different level here

It’s such a big milestone for both child and mum! I was emotional with my second knowing she would be the last, so i get it

Any excuse to party. Not something I would do to be honest, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

The thing with opinions is they’re not actual facts. And often ill informed. All recommendations are to breastfeed if you can until two. There is zero harm doing it for longer, what a lovely bond.

Parties for everything nowadays.

Each to their own I guess. Not something I would do but everyone has the right to celebrate how they want

  I agree; if it brings them joy; it seems harmless.

Not something I would do; but everyone is different and if they want to celebrate; so be it.

I see no problem with that and believe that breastfeeding past 12 months has in fact many benefits
