National Geographic's program *Taboo* did a segment on children tonight. The 
last segment was all about breastfeeding *older*children (focused on a 5 yr 
old boy). I was on the edge waiting to be disappointed.
I am pleased to say they did a really good job. Toddler nursing was 
presented as a taboo with little basis in fact. Kathy Dettwyler's natural 
weaning age was mentioned but without mentioning her.
I'm going to see if I can track down a transcript or buy the episode an 
itunes.
