The ups and downs of extended breastfeeding...

So Aiden is 8 months in a couple of days and Im so happy that we are still breastfeeding! Its good for him its good for me and such a good reason for me to lay down and take a nap at the end of a long day! Right now we are facing some obstacles... Aiden is beating me up! Really he keeps pinching my nipples and scratching my skin- leaving scabs but he doesnt seem to care when I protest or remove him from the breast... its tollerable so I will tollerate rather than spend 30 bucks a week on the man made stuff. im a little concerned about having baby number 2 and the prospect of tandom feeding... we will see!
