I would ask these ladies where the research is to back up the claim that 
weaning is necessary for proper speech development. Sam, I am also an LLL 
Leader and I would suggest you call this lady up some time when you are 
feeling calm and kindly and ask her for the research behind her claims. If 
she can not give you any, then you need to explain to her that her claims 
are actually harmful to a baby's health (meaning early weaning is not a good 
thing). Doing so privately saves face, and stops the bad information she is 
spreading at Series Meetings. Moms do listen to this kind of stuff and often 
believe it. Even after the Leader refutes it.

Best to you, Kathy Eng, BSW, IBCLC and LLL Leader
