Kids clearly also bond with dads and other non-birth-parents who are almost never in a position to breastfeed. It a fallacy to say that stating that one thing is good is the same as saying all other things are bad or inadequate. I agree that once mom is ready to be done continuing to breastfeed from a sense of obligation is not healthy or bonding. Hence "Don't worry if you decide to wean... for any reason that makes sense to you". | |
