My 30-month nursling (weaning at his own rythm) was seen yesterday
holding a small toy submarine in contact with the "belly" of a larger
identical toy submarine, while doing mouth sucking sounds. When quizzed,
he explained to his father that baby submarine was having "side" (bf)
from mommy submarine. Weaning, but with a good feeling, huh ?
