Good Morning America ran a story this morning on BF into toddlerhood. If
you didn't see it, you can find it online at www.abcnews.com, and link to
GMA. 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
as questionning if BF into toddlerhood was more for the *mother* who
couldn't "let go" of her baby, and not something beneficial for the child. (!)
