[quote=Anonymous][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]

Are you a lawyer? I don’t feel attacked, I think it is kind of funny that you wrote all of that out....I was just trying to make OP feel better 😊 But I do stand by my statement—all the choices that we parents AGONIZE over....ultimately it may just be genetics that affects things like immunity/allergies and all the other things related to breast milk as a protective factor. The fact that we DONT know the correlations (your point) is exactly why the OP shouldn’t feel guilty about finishing breastfeeding. [/quote]
