The idea of remembering breastfeeding a reason is interesting, considering I
try to nurse long enough for them to remember.  Unfortunately, three does not
seem to have been long enough for my eldest.  However she remembers events
that happened during nursing, or while nursing, but still not the nursing itself.
 I just asked my 10 year old who remembers that he nursed, and he did not
wean until five.  He remembers the action of sucking and the taste of the milk as
good and that he liked it.  My other son is 15 and does not remember it all
though he knows he did and he  nursed until 4 and a half.  My twins are only 5
so they still remember since they just weaned last year.  Interestingly my 15
year old son did remember it when he was younger.  I still remember him
explaining how to get the milk and how yummy it was to his infant brother when he
was only hours old.

This was interesting to ask them, and also kind of sad.  Here I was hoping I
had created a memory they could hold onto and remember and instead, it has
already left their memory by the teen years.  SO, in answer to the mom wanting to
wean from worry her child will remember it, maybe it will help her to know
that not all children even remember.

Take care,
