WEANING YOUR CHILD
There aren't any rules about when to stop breastfeeding, but a baby should
ideally have breast milk for the first year of its life. Dr. Phil has this
advice for Kate, who breastfeeds her 5-and 7-year-olds:


By giving in and allowing a child to nurse after being weaned, you are
teaching the child that he/she can get what he/she wants when he/she wants
it.


Don't feel guilty for saying no. Children need to learn that they can't get
everything they want. Establish boundaries and keep them.


Find other ways to show your child affection and give them comfort when they
want to be breast-fed. You can hug them and hold them instead. Remind your
child that he/she is a big boy/girl now and doesn't need to breastfeed
anymore.


*****
And he is against co sleeping...saying it interferes with the parents'
relationship.

However he does have Dr. Harvey Karp's 5 S's in an article about calming a
crying baby.
