I'm seeking some ideas/ true stories to help mothers who are nursing their toddlers at night to hear a balanced perspective on what part this activity plays in breastfeeding relationships. I'm talking about those mothers who don't feel that night-time feeds are a problem in their families but feel bombarded by parenting literature that warns them of consequences to their children's sleeping or eating habits. Is there any research that reveals any "after-effects"? From personal experience with 2 toddlers who enjoyed some nursing at night, I can only say that it was pleasant for us and we now have 2 "excellent" sleepers (David,aged 4 years and Ellen, 9 years). Are my biases showing ?? Thanks and good-night!, Maureen
