The 2 year old extended BF child I mentioned is actually 2.5 years. I numerically typed a half but it didnt post correctly. I told my wife she can try the "dont offer, dont refuse" approach with our 16 month old. On this system he nurses 4 to 5 times in 24 hours. The child is in no hurry to wean. All the better for him and mom. Of course I could buy a set of electric trains and offer him a trade. <g> -Rob
