Maybe all of us "oldies" just don't have problems nursing.. And since
forums are a lot more popular today and lots of people don't even know
about newsgroups anymore, the new moms don't find us.

old.

I'm hoping if I just hang in there and ignore the spam, it will go away.

Liz,

Same for me. A few years ago I did participate here occasionally, but
have little time for it now. And part of the reason is about 80 spam a day in
my e-mail address (most automatically blocked).

I will paste in my message I sent here a couple weeks ago in case you
didn't read it:

I used to participate to this group many times, but several years
ago. I have little time to read much of it now, but this is to let you know
how much I approve of your influence and help to each other by doing the most
important things to your children and doing it right instead of total medical
nonsense.

About two and a half years ago I had an injury from which no one expected
me to live. I fell from a ladder, my head broken eight feet down to the
cement floor, unconscious (coma) seven weeks. It took a few weeks after I
woke up to figure out why I was there and how to correct it. Now I am back to
excellent health, the opposite of a doctor's report that I will be disabled
for the rest of my life. (Workmans Compensation took me first by helicopter
to another city, and paid well over $1,000,000 for two others before I woke
up.)

How? I spent 40 years learning how to totally eliminate disease I had as
a child most of my time. Most of was directly caused by canned milk, process
cheese, and margarine. My mother wanted to breast-feed me, but a doctor told
her she couldn't and canned milk was better anyway. When I left home I
stopped all disease by refusing to believe doctors, and eating the right food
- as close as possible to the way God created it. This correction gave me
excellent health and strength. Then with medical people I refused to do most
things they told me I must (stopping drugs and rejected some food they
brought), and did everything they told me I could not do. It worked!

I do have four children in good health, all breast-fed and proper food.

Thank you for really sensible about children. I will add a few recent
thoughts you will mostly agree to:

Women!

Women are better doctors than men. Most of them are mothers! They are more
instinctive by knowing how to care for children. That is the way it should
be.

Then why are there more women as nurses and more men as doctors? Men are
there for money, not health. The more prescriptions they give people for
drugs, the more sick they get, so the doctors make more money.

Women invented neck ties; to be used as a leash or a noose, to walk them
around, or hang them if they can't.

Men invented high-heel shoes, so the woman can't run away, and sit down when
they hurt their feet (as usual).

Did God create humans like this? NO! But men worship the money god, so the
true God has more women to become managers.

Oh, most women respect me. When everyone thought I would be dead from an
injury, it was woman with faith who prayed the most. (Prayer to the money god
wouldn't work anyway).

The next president should be a woman, of an independent party. Then our
health would improve, without paying so much for drugs and doctors.

There is nothing female about me, so how do I know this? I am just smarter
than most men!

I'm not nursing anymore but I still read. All the groups I read have slowed
waaaay down. I think most people read message boards and other web based
forums rather then Usenet now.

I miss my Usenet friends too!

I'm still here, but busy leaves me less time to read and post.

YoungBloke weaned himself just before his 4th birthday - it does feel
strange not to be a breastfeeding mum any more.

Good to know they can self-wean even at that "late" stage. (I know it's not
really late, but all the self-weaning stories I'd heard were about 18-mo
babies. My 21-mo DD is still a BF fiend, and I can't imagine trying to wean
her, so I'm hoping she'll do it herself sometime before she goes to school!

YoungBloke was still a BF fiend at the age of 2, and still quite keen at the
age of 3. Sometime early this year - Jan/Feb - he started not asking for a
bedtime nurse, but still wanted a breakfast nurse every day. That became
less regular over the summer, till he was asking every few days, and then he
didn't bother asking at all. I had hoped he would be weaned by the age of 4
but tried not to push it even subconsciously. I also had to remind myself
not to keep offering if he didn't ask - because it did seem strange not to
be nursing him!

I am here and new to the group I am breastfeeding my daughter who is
1month old. I also breastfed my oldest daughter who is 7yrs old til
she was about 21months. I breastfed my son who is 3yrs old til he was
2 months old. I love breastfeeding and I leave the weaning up to the
baby except in my son's case. He wanted to eat every hour and I
couldn't do it because I had housework to do. Other than that We are
here and willing to share anything with anyone. All you have to do is
ask.

Still here and still nursing my almost 18-month old, but can't get
past all the spam, so I don't post much.

I'm still here, although it's been absolutely crazy for the last month or
so.
DD2 was 14 months old yesterday and she's still going strong!
Her biting of boobs has stopped long ago, and she's still a boob monster.
Doesn't seem like she's looking to 'quit the tit' any time in the near
future, so I assume I'll still be around for a bit!

We're doing well. Sara's teething I think which is a huge pain because
she's Velcro baby and wants to be on _my_ arm all the time, Sam just
lost his 4th tooth (the 2 on the bottom were lost last year and the new
teeth are already there so there's no gap anymore, but he's got this
huge gap on the top now). I had a really bad cold right after Christmas,
luckily we were visiting friends so I was able to stay in bed with Sara
and Sam had someone to play with all the time anyway.

Well, Sara's whining again so I'll better run along ;-)

I'm just too busy to check in very often, but I do still visit.
Lorelei was three in November, and she is still nursing every time she
catches me sitting down!

I miss everyone too, and often think about people I felt so close to
at one time who have completely disappeared from here and mkp.

I still bop in and read once in a while. The amount of spam is
outrageous though. My baby is now 26 months old and no longer nursing.

I do too. DD is 22 months and now only nurses at home... I've been
frequenting the ABA forums recently: good for me for an Australian
viewpoint, but I miss the breadth of knowledge that (used to be?) available
here.
