"I guess expecting that level of respect for
the child's needs would be asking a lot from a male prophet from the
6th
century, and I'm thrilled that Muhammed at least did say to nurse
for
two years."

Please remember that for those who accept Muhammed as a Messenger of
God (Muslims or Baha'is), what He says isn't just a male opinion, it
is the Word of God for that time at least.  I did look up the
reference in the Quran once and I don't believe it stated ONLY two
years.  This is a twist that humans have added over the years based
on cultural and other interpretations.
