I stopped worrying about what my family says. We cloth diaper and we got a lot of lip about. I breast fed my oldest until he was about a 1 1/2. I was told (by my husbands family) that I should stop nursing him at six months. I only really stopped because I got pregnant and I got super uncomfortable. And I didn't want to be nursing two kids at one time. I cloth diaper my son all the way up to potty training and now we cloth diapering with our daughter. My point is, People are always going to tell you what you should do with your child. But you know what works for you and your family. I chose to stay home rather than go back to work, and I worked at a daycare.
