My BF mothers' group continues to be a gold mine.  We were out for our
annual pre-Christmas restaurant dinner/meeting this p.m. and I gleaned these
THREE stories.  Since there were only five of us present and one is me,
mother of totally weaned teenagers, I think that alone is impressive.
1) Child is  two and a half.  When milk stops flowing abundantly and mother
feels it might be convenient to end the meal, she says 'There's no more left
now.'  He replies 'Oh yes there is' and demonstrates breast compression like
a pro, causing milk to squirt out most gratifyingly.
2) Child is three and a half, nurses daily when he has time.  When he
suddenly remembers something more urgent while BF, he lets go of the breast
and says 'I'll just save the rest for later.'
3) Child will be four in March.  When he and mother get into real clinches,
he pulls out his ace in the hole: 'OK, be that way, then I'll just quit
breastfeeding!'  (when mother is pressing him about some other behavior or
setting limits on something-- this being the worst punishment he can imagine
to inflict on her!)
