<< I'm in the middle of "Barn Blind" by Jane Smiley.  Kate (Mother) at
 one point is telling a story of an event that occurred during her
 eldest son's infancy and she mentions that she nursed all of her
 children "well into their second year".  I recall some positive
 mentions of nursing in "Moo" as well.   >>

Earlier this year (5th April 1998) the New York Times Magazine ran an issue on
motherhood in which Jane Smiley wrote the lead piece, in which she mentions --
in a wonderfully by the way kind of way -- that she nursed her oldest daughter
"for two years."   It's not a piece about attachment parenting or bf directly,
but it does touch on attachment and bf, both, under the heading of paying
attention to our children.
( I didn't think much of the issue over all, in fact, but I liked her piece.
Probably still available on the NYTimes web site.)
