Kathy, I agree with your statements completely, and because I will probably
still have at least one of these guys at the breast that late I didn't
really think of it as an inappropriate sexual issue, more of just
codependency in general, while I know kids won't take the boob to college
per se, I wondered what you all thought about encouraging a 6 year old to
nurse.  I swear, sometimes at our playgroup, I almost wonder if it's for
attention on the part of the mom.  We are all pretty alternative and she
seems to like to shock us all... and of course we never act shocked! lol.
