"When the child gets older and the bm/formula question is no longer an issue because the child is getting his main nutrition from a healthy diet, then the nursing mother is doing so for other reasons and none include nutrition. Comfort becomes a main purpose and no longer an "added bonus." At that point, bf'ing is out-of-the-norm and weaning is preferred."
"Just because something appears unnecessary doesn't mean it is. There is no real reason to wean at 1, or 2. Some would claim that erring on the side of caution would be allowing the child to self-wean. ;-)"

Do you actually know how to back up what you claim?

Why don't you just answer the question. It's really very simple.
Did you want your children to benefit from the comfort/security/reassurance aspects of bfing?
"Actually, no one has remotely proven that it's detrimental."
Too true!
"Just because something is out-of-the-norm doesn't mean it's wrong."
