I was just interviewed by someone from the Boston Globe doing a story on long term nursing. A few questions came up that I'm hoping you all can help me with: 1. What are some of your favorite "code words" your kids or others you know have used for nursing? 2. She would like to interview someone with a background in developmental psychology or related field to address whether there are any negative developmental or social issues around long term breastfeeding. Can anyone recommend someone with such a background who can be interviewed in the next 2 days? 3. Is anyone aware of research on immunologic or psychological benefits (or not) to long term nursing? Any references appreciated. Please respond to me off line, as the journalist is on a deadline.
