Hi everyone,
The other day I was talking to a mother who is nursing an almost 5 year
old.  The mother was told by a psychologist colleague (they work in the
same hospital) that the fact that a child this age is still nursing shows
regression and could lead to problems.  I know this isn't so but really
don't have any substantial literature to back up my position.  Does
anyone know any good psychology articles about extended nursing from
professional, not popular sources.
TIA
