That's a mouthful!  Just remember i before e and "I sing, you sing, Wiessinger."

I'm not sure we need a term for nursing a toddler or preschooler or whatever.  I just talk about, um, nursing a toddler or preschooler or whatever.  We could also say "breastfeeding past a year" or "breastfeeding past 4."  We don't talk about extended living, or long-term living.  We just talk about senior citizens, or having a good long life, or being in our 80s.  I wonder: is there perhaps some lingering sense of judgment in a culture's desire to label a length of time in nurslings when we don't do it later on?
