I am not one to ~ever~ be impressed with something that a celebrity does or says but finally I am.
After hearing about so many celebrity moms having elective c-sections (at 37wks) to fit the birth into there schedule, lying about the obvious fertility treatments that they have used, and refusing to nurse their children for silly reasons FINALLY a celebrity mom that is actually doing something that I am proud of.

Selma Hayek not only is ~proud~ to be STILL nursing her 16mth old and gladly does in public. She actually was taped nursing a 1 week old sick baby in Africa. She wasn't worried about what the world would think, if she would still be able to get into the coolest restaurants and about what acting gigs this would get her. She wanted the BEST for this baby and gave it to him because his mother couldn't.
I just hope that others read this article and they start to think that maybe this sound be the norm and NOT the other way around.
Just in case Selma ever reads my blog....Great Job...As a fellow nursing mom, I am hope that more people start to think like you and I!
I am a mother of a wonderful little girl named Brooklyn and the cutest little man named Braxton and also a wife to a great man named Dave. We are learning to be new parents and having lots of adventures along the way. I would like to be able to look back on my blog and remember our family times and all the craziness of being parents. I hope that you will enjoy reading all about our soon to be family of 4!

- Hi - I am a stay at home mom. I have a great life. A wonderful husband, a recently 2yr old girl named Brooklyn (who is knee deep in the terrible twos) and a new addition Braxton that is almost 3mths old. Life is good but I am still looking for something that I can call my own. And you lovely people get to go along for the ride. I hope that you enjoy!

I was also impressed by this. Awesome.
I only breastfeed until the 1 year mark, but if my baby showed signs of being stressed out over not nursing anymore, I'd consider nursing until the 2 year mark. Personally, after that, it kind of ookes me out. But at 1 year, both my babies had zero problems letting it go. I think I was more sad than either of them were!
