~ Thanks, and those teen years/wonder years experiences often help us help
moms with toddlers since there are some major parallels, not infants, but
not  "big kids" either, and not always positively viewed by parents. Moms who
are  nursing into toddlerhood and beyond especially often need this kind of
reframing  as neighbors and family blame nursing for normal developmental
issues

Thanks for the clarification. Shows you how much I know...:)

Peace,
