That is someone talking out of their backside, Melly - I'm not even a mum and I know that! You and those other mums were most right to think it bad advice. It's thanks to this forum I'm now thinking BFing past teething is OK - the only reason I was going to stop then was because of biting issues (not saying I aren't going to stop when biting starts, just that it's no longer definate). BFing does NOT cause dental decay - it is more likely to prevent it, as everything else has the wrong sugars in it for baby's teeth, so don't feel bad BFing a young child with teeth. BFing is better than cow's milk and waaaaay better than juice drinks.

HTH!
