Dear Merilee, Over the years I've noticed a sort of natural disinterest
stage for some babies between 13-15 mo.  Then it seems as if the baby or
mom doesn't capitalize on it, nursing continues for a long time.  Has
anyone else noticed any other ages when this seems to happen.  After
reading "The Vital Touch" I realize that some of this is American
disconnected-ness to our babies.  We are busy!  Sheller says part of it is
because we mother all alone, without the helping hands of the extended
family or the village.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
