My older daughter has just weaned and the biggest thing I miss is the security and comfort it brought me to know that she was extra protected from illness (was sick twice in the last 3yrs, both mild colds), not susceptable to constipation (never has been constipated in her 3yrs) and knowing even on her most fussiest days with foods she was having a nutrient rich injection.

The other thing I loved was the ease at which I could put her to sleep although luckily, it is just as smooth now but I think that is because she was over 3 when she weaned.
