[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is impossible to say how difficult it will be, but in general around 18 months they start having very strong opinions so better to have them out by then. I will caution you that it is [b]easy to be lazy[/b] and not night wean if they are in bed with you and they will be getting boob snacks much longer than necessary, which is not the best for your sleep or their teeth.[/quote]

My favorite conundrum here at play. So is cosleeping and nursing mommy martyr or lazy or is it depending on what horrible quality you want the OP to feel like she is at risk of turning into if she does these things?

Also nursing has no little demonstrable effect on teeth and decay. "A more recent study (Denenish et al 2020) found that the risk of tooth decay was not linked to breastfeeding beyond 12 months. However, what this study did find was that the only factors associated with tooth decay were high intake of sugary foods/drinks and low socioeconomic status."

It would make no sense that at 18 months it causes decay. Some kids have a full set of teeth at one year. [u]Any liquid at night besides water [/u]can lead to decay. Thats why you would nurse and have them unlatch. Its important for them to swallow any liquid as it is the pooled liquid in the mouth that contributes to tooth decay.
