When your breastfeeding children are grown and breastfeeding their own  
children AND when you breastfeeding children have been quite healthy and  
successful in life, it is much easier to tell others with assuredness that most  babies 
who will only breastfeed and who refuse solids in the second half of  their 
first year are mostly healthy and continue to be.  It is a quick and  easy 
blood test that puts the whole iron issue to rest.  When I have  mothers whose 
doctors have sent the baby to 'feeding clinics', my immediate  suggestion is a 
second opinion with a human milk friendly doctor who somehow  seems more able to 
see the whole child, not just the only breastfeeding problem  child.  Other 
positives are that the children move from nursings to picking  up and eating 
their own family food and skip the gerber glop.  
I believe that these children know exactly what they are doing and what  they 
need.  My child who refused food the longest started out at almost 10  pounds 
and was nicknamed Baby Buddha because he was always so pudgy AND  energetic.  
He is now 29 and a slender and muscular athlete and health care  worker.  
Anecdotal or unusual, naw---there are too many of us.
