[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I nursed both my kids till 1.5 years of age. If I hated it at 4 months I would have stopped. You can stop! No guilt. My kids are teens now—I have no clue which of their friends were breast or bottle fed—it doesn’t matter![/quote] My kids were adopted so I have no dog in this fight but the rational of “it doesn’t matter because I can’t tell now” makes no sense. First, you can never prove a negative. You can never say how much better off someone would have been if X happened. Second, your statement assumes that this X would be known and directly correlate. Third, what you observe in your kids contemporaries doesn’t take into account that you may not be the greatest observer. I don’t mean to attack you, PP. It’s this rationale of “it doesn’t matter if you can’t tell when the kid is a teen” that is so pernicious on this forum. [/quote]
