[quote=Anonymous]I try not to judge other people's parenting decisions as long as they aren't harmful. But I kind of think breastfeeding older children IS harmful. I breastfed all five of mine exclusively. Like most kids, somewhere between about 12 and 14 months they started becoming more independent. They were drinking from a cup and eating pretty much everything we did. Had I continued to nurse them it would have been 100% of about MY needs and not about theirs. They were getting most of their nutrition from the foods they were eating. Milk was no longer even necessary. Seeing a three (or even an older two) year old with a bottle grosses me out. To me it isn't about the breast as much as it is this need to treat a toddler like an infant.[/quote]
