Hello Kika,
just one anecdotal experience here: A casual acquaintance (a Scotsman)
asked me what I did and upon hearing "breastfeeding counselling", he
said with a bright smile and a content voice: "I don't know anything
about breastfeeding. I just did it." He obviously had no problems with
his memories. Two years later, when his son was born, he was very
supportive of his wife's breastfeeding.

> I spoke with a mom yesterday who is nursing her 14 month old toddler. We were speaking about weaning issues, and she told me that she definitely wants to wean before her boy is two and a half because she wants him to have NO memory of suckling on her breasts. She says that breasts are so erotizied in the US that she feels it might make her son
> uncomfortable to have memories of sucking his mommie´s "boobies". ....
