Mothering hosts threads on gentle weaning and gentle discipline. Just as we wouldn't allow a thread suggesting putting lemon juice or another foreign substance on a child's tongue to curb them from an unwanted behavior, we don't host threads that suggest putting a foul-tasting substance on the breast to curb them from breastfeeding. We can certainly host threads about weaning that don't involve suggestions that involve violating a child's integrity by tricking them into ingesting foreign substances as a means of weaning them from breastfeeding.

We host discussion of nighttime parenting, loving discipline, gentle weaning, natural birth, homebirth, successful breastfeeding, alternative and complementary home remedies, informed consent and many other topics from a natural point of view.
