<< woman with a 2y.o still nursing. >> i do not describe my daughter, who will turn 6 next tuesday, as "still nursing." i just describe her as "nursing." if we say *still* nursing as if it were unusual or abnormal, ti conveys an odd message for those of us who do this work. yeah, i know, just call me "ms. language police." hey, i am very lenient on a lot of things. and the fertility specialist needs to tell the mother to make her own choice based on the evidence, and if he has some evidence that breastfeeding would keep her from getting pregnant, he should produce that evidence. the many mothers who got pregnant while breastfeeding could all use a big laugh. carol brussel IBCLC *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
