<< They did mention that the AAP recommends BF for the first year, but
 the reporter went on to say that no one was sure if BF into toddlerhood was
 harmful to the child psychologically. The author, Peggy Robin, was quoted

 couldn't "let go" of her baby, and not something beneficial for the child.

As you all may remember, Peggy Robin is the author of the perfectly execrable
book, "Bottle feeding w/o guilt."  (I think it has a new name now).  She
promotes bottle feeding whenever she can --
