I thought I would share something very interesting but something we all know
also.  My one twin ( they are four) has lupus. She is a beautiful blonde with
blue eyes and is just a joy to be around.  She nursed until she was 23 months
old (weaned 2 days before the youngest was born).  We noticed the first
symptoms 3 weeks after she weaned.  And then things got worse.  Her
immunoligical spec said that her benefit in life was the fact that she nursed
so long.  I gave her immune system a good start and he thought that had she
not been breastfed she would have shown symptoms alot sooner...just sharing
another benefit to breastfeeding.....my Brianna.....
