My first heart break of "they're growing > up so quickly!". > its the people that don't accept this fact and force the breastfeeding that bother me. my cousin's wife insisted that her child needed to be breastfed till she was 4 because she was such a lousy eater and wouldn't be healthy otherwise. also she said that the child cried and wanted the breast. however, whenever the kid was in the same room as solid foods she would dive for them and her mom would take it all away and force the child to breastfed (which she would sometimes fight). .
