Very interesting stuff!!

I have to say I have the yuck factor when it comes to children above about 18months - 2 years still feeding. But I understand the benefits of it, so dont knock anyone doing it past then. But coming home from shcool for a bit is NQR in my mind. Specially with a boy. One has to think that "could" do something to the child psychologically, and I'm just not sure.

But then - my upbringing was VERY straight, I dont ever remember seeing my mum naked, and mum never even talked to me about periods and things. I bought my own first bra with the money I made from part time work, and same with my tampons. Mum only ever bought me one packet of pads, and that was after I had had my period for 2 years!!! So whos to say I'm normal, or had a rational childhood.

A friend was telling me about her girlfriend who breastfed until the child was about 18months - one day he bit her, and that was it. He was weaned from that day onwards!!
