I'm on month 18 breastfeeding my son.  As long as he keeps
asking for it he'll get it.  I have ser...several friends
who weaned their children at 4 years old.  It is not uncommon.  What is
uncommon is they don't go around broadcasting it to everyone
because it seems to be frowned upon.  I still feed my son
whole milk too.  I cannot supply his total need of milk.

I wonder if it is just the breast milk that is helping
the child's cognitive abilities?  Perhaps it is the
close mother-child bonding that ooccurs durign breastfeeding???  My friends say
their children are very secure and indepentend ....independent.

Sincerely,
PATRICIA
