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.)

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.
