I really can't take the polls and questionnaires anymore that don't even
reflect the fact that it is possible to nurse your preschooler and some
people actually share beds with their toddlers.  My son's preschool sent a
questionnaire that asked "when did you wean your child" and "was it
traumatic".  My playground mom friends said they'd be tempted to lie, but I
just filled in "not yet" and "we don't anticipate that it will be".  They
also asked if the child had his/her own room.  So I answered that he's
still sharing our bed.  Then Parentcenter.com had a poll on avoid late
night visits from your toddler (2-4). The poll did not even include the
option that your toddler might still be in bed with you.  It was clear from
the comment section that those who had responded so far were still sleeping
with their toddlers.  I couldn't resist pointing out how silly this poll
was. I think there is a lot of room for help on questionnaire designs when
it comes to breastfeeding friendly practices!
