i  especially love knowing they nursed to an age that they will always r/m 
it. i  hope it is one of their most enduring memories of me all of their 
lives. never  were we all as in sync, bonded, content and still enough to look 
into each  other's souls as when they were nursing.
 
I didn't see the original post, weird LN delivery these days, but this was  
interesting timing. I'm not sure my 26 year old son remembers nursing ( he 
was 4  yrs when he finished....) but I do know that he gets into a lot of 
conversations  where breastfeeding past "a certain age" has more than once 
become brunch  conversation for him and his friends. Happened again about two 
weeks ago, when  after seeing a family on a Saturday, I got a text from him 
asking if there  was a term for children who nursed "past a certain age": I 
responded  "uh, normal? :)" " not prematurely weaned", and then we had a 
little text  conversation about biologic vs cultural expectations, etc. I love 
to imagine  this lovely group of 2o somethings sitting around chatting  about 
breastfeeding in some gastropub in Philadelphia, PA ( and  my son's never 
failing attempts to educate people about it...:)
 
Peace,
Judy
