I have always addresses myself as a BF'ing momma. Never added any additional terms to imply how long or how short I nursed. I have five children and nursed four of them. I enjoyed every minute I nursed my babies and would have nursed them until they were ready to wean. All of mine were ready at about a year with the exception of my 5 month old. He nursed for 4 months and then refused. Instead of forcing it, I allowed him to move on, as much as it broke my heart. I guess I am not one that is big on putting "labels on timeframes". Since we all are so different in many ways, I feel like a mother should nurses as long as she and baby are comfy.

You make it to the end of that "term" or you don't. Totally turns me off. Extended breastfeeding doesn't bother me because (for now) there is a common time frame by which most women in our society stop breastfeeding. If you're breastfeedig long beyond that, it really is extended breastfeeding. Full-term breastfeeding makes me think there is a set term. You make it to the end of that “term” or you don’t.
