We live in a culture where we are constantly pressured to push our kids to \u201cgrow up.\u201d This is often the argument for weaning, \u201cThey need to grow up sometime!\u201d I\u2019ve even got feedback for the vocabulary I use to describe my kids, \u201cbaby versus toddler versus small child.\u201d And anyone who is not pushing their child to grow up is trying to \u201ckeep\u201d them young. What is the big rush? They are going to grow up. Seriously, you don\u2019t need to push them. Actually pushing too hard can cause anxiety and distrust in the world. They will just grow. It\u2019s nature. I will not wean my child simply because he breastfeeds at an older age than makes you comfortable. It works for us, it is what I believe he needs and he likes it! I am not \u201ckeeping\u201d him breastfeeding. He likes it, he initiates it and, even after hard work to establish boundaries to keep me sane nursing 2 kids, he keeps coming back. I do not force it to continue and I will not force it to end. He won\u2019t breastfeed when he is in college, not that you really need to care about what my child does. Of all the things going on with kids and in the world at large, people trip about this. I don\u2019t get it. How can anyone look at this and think it is wrong?<\/span>
