A reminder that we ask all of you to read THIS post prior to posting in the gentle parenting forums.

I post certain topics and articles in here as I know that it may seem too 'out there' for some people - I started this section because I didn't like posting things that I liked to do elsewhere and get answers of routine and everything but gentle parenting.

So please think before you post, this is a special place for gentle parenters and you are welcome to post opinions but please do not label them with emotions - it's not fair to judge anyone's parenting efforts.

Personally I am very over breastfeeding my son who is 18mths, but I keep going because I believe that he will wean in his own time and it will be soon anyway. It seems important to him now and I will keep going, despite people wondering why - it's just become so abnormal to breastfeed a toddler to some! Marisa weaned when she was 2.
