[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your wife has to stay out of sight of the younger child. Could the nanny take the kids out of the house for small portions of the day? 20 months is still within the real of normal. I don’t think you can convince your wife to wean until she and baby are both ready. [/quote]

And my daughter knows where my wife’s office is and tells us she’s going to Mommy for breast.  You cannot distract her and she cries and calls for Mommy u til Mommy let’s her in. [/quote]

My pediatrician told me, when I asked how long would be too long to nurse, "when the kid can ask for it, they are too old". Sounds like you are there. It's becoming a problem. How are her teeth? [/quote]

Sounds like your ped has some internalized issues. So a kid that talks at 12 months vs 22 months? One would need to be weaned at 12 vs 22. Or how about the old- when they get teeth? So a kid gets teeth at 6 months vs 14months? One kid has to wean at 6 months.

How do you respect your pediatricians with this idiotic, obviously personal preference and not medically based, advice?[/quote]

Relax, if a pediatrician said this, it was 1990. [/quote]

Not true. A large ped group in HoCo had some pediatricians who had similar instructions/feelings. Most pediatricians are fine with breastfeeding up to 12 months and then have these weird opinions. [/quote]
