FTR, In my case, I encouraged my children to fulfill their natural, biological, instinctual sucking needs, by doing just that, encouraging them to fulfill their natural, biological, instinctual sucking needs.

No blankies, no special stuffed animals, no transitional objects, no mother substitutes. Just plain old nursing until they were ready to self-wean (at just over 3 and almost 4).

Worked wonders wrt fulfilling the *actual* need, encouraging independence, and making the weaning process as natural, respectful, and pleasant as possible.

But then again, my motto continues to be: If it ain't broke, don't fix it LOL :)

Then expect a response when you post something on a debate board.

Well then lets recap. You are the one taking issue with my statements about my opinion. I think I have told you many times that I understood your opinion yet you just didnt like mine or my answers. So where you are getting that I dont like your answers.

So we have gone from using opinion, to judgement, to stereotyping, to feel. ???????

"okay thanks for making that clear."

No problem.

"When i weaned my oldest at one from bottle he used his blankie ty pink kitty."

And your point here would be...?

"He learned to cope with his need to suckle thru his confort object his "tee and ty" as he called them."

Wait a minute. Let me get this straight.

He learned to cope with his need to suckle, by learning to cope with his need for a comfort object???

My point would be i offered them others options then my nipple to fill their sucking needs.

A "cuddly"
object" at any age is fine with me.

I do not view my nipples or my breast as a object my children may use to feel secure in elementary school.

They found ways to comfort themselves without my nipples to suck on.
