foxyfire33 I think it's appropriate up to whatever age the mother and child are comfortable with. My youngest is over a year and still breastfeeding. His nutritional needs certainly have not drastically changed in the past month enough to make breastfeeding no longer...

Extended Breastfeeding

SlapItHigh @SlapItHigh (172) • United States 28 Feb 07

How many hear breastfeed beyond the age of one? I used to think it was gross to nurse beyond the age of one and then I had children and began to research. I have researched breastfeeding extensively and it is clear that...

hcampjeschke My son will be a year old on the 24th and I still breast feed. I believe he will let me know when he is ready. Breast feeding your child should be a great bonding experience and the time to stop is when it is no longer enjoyable for either of you. Women in...

Coats in carseats

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 2 Jan 08

A person who is certified in child safety and carseat safety told me to never put a child in a carseat with a heavy coat. She said that in an accident the coat will deflate and make the straps loose, meaning the child could be...

twinsohiomommy You should never put a thick coat on a child in a car.. It will compress in a accident and can cause the child's body to move farther forward then it should and helps to cause neck injuries.. Do you have a hunting store near you? Once that sells Carhart...

garnet80 @garnet80 (349) • Australia 4 Jan 08

I'm at my wits end. My almost 3 year old son refuses to brush his teeth. Yes he does it sometimes and that's only after I've turned it into a game. I've tried with tooth paste and without. Does anyone have any tips to help make...

kathisharpe @kathisharpe (140) • United States 27 Sep 07

Another poster, another topic, said (paraphrasing) I'd never homeschool; kids who are homeschooled miss out on so much!" Let me qualify my response - we homeschooled our kids. Both have graduated, one's pursuing a career and...
