I don't know then this came out, so y'all may have seen it. Penelope
Leach writes a response titled "In Defense of Long-Term Breastfeeding"
to a parent asking for help talking to her mother about reasons to
continue nursing her two year-old.

The mother asks for ammunition to provide to her mother about the
benefits of continuing to breastfeed.
In Penelope's response, she states:
"Ammunition is easy to provide, the problem is toning down its effects
on the family so it acts like a firecracker rather than an H-bomb."
I thought this was humorous, and especially appropriate since at the
top of the web page was an ad for Carnation formula.
Enjoy!
