I have no kids, but my sister breast fed and it was quite difficult coupled with the fact that she had to work. I did see her squeeze some out into a baggy. YUCK!
To: Millee
When the kids get tired of it,is she looking for volunteers.
Should`nt have said that,sorry all.

It is hard, but when children turn one it is about the time they want real food and regular milk. It will be tough but I understand. I've been there!

Holy wet nurse, Batman, surely she can find some socially acceptable alternatives to continue to "capture that feeling."

The problem is compounded by the fact that she had such a hard time breastfeeding our oldest son. The little one is eating finger food and we're giving him bits of chicken and hot dogs. Makes for a great change in poopies.:)

oh,, good grief. my children were breast-fed beyond 18 months, and they are all sturdy-boned, bright, and disease-resistant - I can count on two hands the occasions I had to take them to the doctor for an illness (there are four of them.)

Just joshing, there comes a time when Mom's milk comes in second to apple sauce.:-}

They are usually identified during an ER visit for inability to throw off a cold or flu that other children are getting over in 4-6 weeks.Taking 4-6 weeks for a kid to get over a cold/flu doesn't sound healthy to me.

Exactly. That's the typical point when these "Mothers of America" decide that something is (perhaps seriously) wrong with the kid and they seek medical attention.

But did you supplement with "toddler" food, vitamins, etc?
Problem with the "milk babies" is that the mother buys into the feminist krep that all they need is Mom's Milk, so the child fills up on breast milk and gets little else.
It is also not an easy problem to solve once the child has existed primarily on liquids for 3, 4, 5+ years. Since the GI system has little or no "experience" digesting solids, it if very difficult to get them onto solid food at an advanced. It can be a 12 - 18 month weaning process.

you meant just milk and nothing else? It would be hard for a mother to supply enough calories for a toddler, let alone whatever else the child needs. Mine were nursing and eating.
