Today's the day.
Well I think you've done an AMAZING job. How many mother's nurse their
babies until they are THREE? It must be a tiny tiny tiny number. Well done! And good luck tonight!! : / Let us know how it goes. Love ROSIE |

And, while I did expect some of this reaction; HONESTLY Larry, I nursed him for three YEARS! I don't even get one pat on the back? *sniff* First, happy birthday to him! Second, you've done something that most moms don't. And for that, you deserve a big glass of wine and a handful of peanuts :-). Pats on the back from everyone in here (including Larry :-) ). E |

For a while we've been telling Gareth that when he's three, it's time to stop nursing. He's been down to one nurse at bedtime for months now. He did have a good long nurse last night, and I told him it's the last time. Congratulations on this big achievement! You have set an example for many, I'm sure. -- -- Ilse mom to Olaf (07/15/2002) TTC #2 "What's the use of brains if you are a girl?" Aletta Jacobs, first Dutch woman to receive a PhD |

And, while I did expect some of this reaction; HONESTLY Larry, I
nursed him for three YEARS! I don't even get one pat on the back? Come'on, Michelle! Doncha know that the world wide average age of weaning is 4.2 years? Get that kid back on the breast for another 14 months right NOW! And quit yer bitchin'. (I trust I don't need to put a smily here...)

"Larry McMahan" wrote in message ... OK. I know you have a "right" to make this decision, but I am still sad about it, and wonder if child led weaning wouldn't be better. I promise not to comment on it again. :-( But Larry, is child-led weaning best when the mother isn't comfortable with nursing anymore? IMO, A nursing *relationship* involves two people and both should be considered. I mean, come on. She gave him three years. I think she did awesome. JennP, |
