[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By all means please link to the research showing breastfeeding for two years benefits the mother more than breastfeeding for one year, but breastfeeding for three years has no benefits/might be harmful.[/quote] I think common sense will tell you that infantilizing an older child would be harmful, PP. All mammals wean their young. [/quote] Anthropological studies have shown that the natural weaning age for humans is 5-7 which is exactly the time human mammals loose their “milk” teeth. I think the studies on breastfeeding benefits for women show longer is better. In any case my goal has always been 2 years or as long as my DC is still willing. After 1 year the amount of time I spend pumping is greatly reduce. I go feed her once a day and maybe hand express/pump 1 other time for 10-15 min. I try to make up for the time I go to feed her by working while eating lunch. [/quote]
