Over the 13 years I have run a monthly discussion
group for mothers nursing past 12 months, I have seen
a number of babies who show little interest in table
foods before the 2nd birthday.  With rare exceptions
these are robust, healthy children whose HCPs are
delighted with their physical and mental development. 


We have only a primitive understanding in the US of
normal nursing patterns, during the first year of life
as well as the years following.  Certainly cultural
influences play havoc with biology for many
mother/baby pairs.

This is an area that warrants considerable research,
with an open mind to the play of culture on both
families and researchers.
