Mabey they will expand their garden but with all the traveling they do there is no time. If I had 20 kids mabey I could afford to travel. I saw a show where they are learning gardening.

Right now I am planning on doing some form of child-led weaning. I kinda figure that he will wean when I am pregnant again - not sure when that will be. Yes, we are still nursing at 14 months.

I feel so bad for the little babies who are forced to follow a Babywise-type schedule. I cringed inwardly when I recently read about someone who was scheduling feeds so that she could teach her baby not to be self-indulgent. So glad to hear your nursing success stories :) Scheduling really bothers me as well. I feel so bad for the little babies who are forced to follow a Babywise-type schedule.

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:00:30 +0000 http://lizzed.wordpress.com/2009/08/28/breastfeeding-myths/#comment-2239 What a great post! I get so frustrated when people feel like they need to schedule their babies. I've always let my children nurse on demand and each one of them eventually fell into their own schedule. And doctors are sometimes the worst advocates for breastfeeding. With my first, the pediatrician tried his hardest to get me to put my baby on formula. But the baby had been in the NICU for two weeks, and I was determined to beat the nursing issues he had. And we did it! He nursed for over a year, but self-weaned a little bit after I got pregnant with our daughter. My daugher abruptly stopped nursing at 11 1/2 months. I thought it was a nursing strike and kept trying different methods for getting her to nurse again, but she never did. I was very sad about it for months, and then spent my pregnancy with my third children dreaming about nursing him :) And he is doing great. I hope he'll nurse a little bit longer than the other two did. What a great post! I get so frustrated when people feel like they need to schedule their babies.

However, for some of them, they are co-sleeping with much older children and don't know how to break the habit. I think you did a great thing with Calvin. It was better for both you and him. It is very hard to break the cycles once it starts. But it is that way with anything in life. I am guessing that you are still nursing. Do you plan to do child-led weaning?

Certainly seems like they have the space, and we know they have the manpower to handle it. Yeah, why don’t they have a garden??

I feel like he is good-intentioned but at the end of every chapter he sums up by saying "you should probably get this vaccine." DTaP is the only vaccine we have done so far.

Did you read something of his beyond just the quote? I used to read him in literary theory classes in college. Harold Bloom is very interesting. Did you read something of his beyond just the quote?
