re: What are  parents supposed to do--glue the piece of plastic into the 
baby's mouth at  night, put him all alone into a crib on his back, in a 
separate room,  andwire  him to an apnea monitor, motion sensor, sonar, 
radar, and  install a telemetry  unit in their  bedroom?

I hate to say it, but I do know some mothers of preemies who have come 
home from the hospital doing exactly that! 

re: the dr. who said to nurse until the baby could ask for it and then 
stop. When we had our 1st my husband and I said the same thing. How little 
we knew! Our daughter was a fluent talker by 10 mos. and was able to tell 
us unequivocally for the next five years how SHE felt about being weaned. 
(She finally gave up the boobie just past her sixth b-day). For those 
parents fortunate enough to just be encouraged to follow their heart and 
their baby's lead, miracles do happen!
