You're taking an unusually obstinant tone about such a strange subject.

7 months and 2 1/2. How old are your kids?

In the past 21 years, how many times have you thought something along the lines of, "I know this is what's best for my child, but since these other people think it's icky, I won't do it."?

Never... but in the past however many years, have you ever thought 'gee, maybe at some point the physical benefits become outweighed by the potentially weird mental dynamics?'

You do what you feel best, even if i had the power to stop kids from breastfeeding at a certain age, i wouldnt do it, let otherwise normal parents do what they need to do... but that doesnt make it ANY less strange.

I dont need a doctorate, to know that going into ages 3,4,5... is frickin weird... chop up some pork chop for the little suckler & get him a GLASS of milk, like a big kid.

Find me any scientific research that shows any psychological problems later in life associated with extended breastfeeding. Anything.

I know you would love to replace breastmilk with other food, but I'm more interested in what is best for the child. So far, everything I've read agrees with my current stance.

Do what you feel best Hef, but dont get all indignant when you notice people acting quietly uncomfortable.

That's what I thought.
