You can link me to as many articles about mothers as you like. But I am talking about BABIES. You are thinking about the MOTHER. And that's not what I said at all.
You can go on as many tangents as you need to. The fact is you are needlessly exposing your child to feces and urine. You are increasing the risk that you will drop her when you are on the toilet.
I've explained how a modicum of planning will prevent all of that while at the same time making sure your child will not shed a tear. Clearly, this is all about the mother's need to feel something or other. It just continues to diminish (and swallows up) any credibility to some silly argument that extended breastfeeding has any benefits when one learns mothers can't even put the child first with a little planning and consider the child's safety and health. How sad.
Where on earth do you pull your information from? A scheduled c-section is nowhere near the safest thing for the baby. Nature designed vaginal childbirth so that fluid could be squeezed from a baby's lungs. My second born was 54 minutes from first contraction to birth - nine minutes of pushing. He had 'wet lung' which resolved without any intervention (other then a scary transfer to the hospital) but it came about from not spending enough time in the birth canal being squeezed.
Then how do you explain the thousands and thousands of people in other countries where cosleeping in the norm (and not in a cosleeper attached to the bed) that have SIDS rates lower then the U.S.?
You're going to have to rethink that last little explanation for your child's illness! Mine spent NO time in the birth canal and all three had No wet-lung. So silly.

C-section by far is the safest thing for a BABY.

I have read every one of your links and i have yet to see why allowing a school aged child to wean themselves is a positive.
by school aged expecially 8 a child should have other resourses to begin to learn to comfort themselves then using their mothers breast.
There is also such a thing as a floor. Neither cribs nor bassinettes are a need.
How uncomfortable.
Interesting, how is c-section the safest way into the world for all babies?
