gosh... I feel bad bc we have totally usurped a serious discussion about changing the name of this forum and turned it into snack time!

But, hey, we all deserve a coffee break, right! I definately will go for the caffeine with milk and sugar.

Sticky buns all around.

And then later on we'll pop more corn.:

Still waiting for the verdict on this poll....................

(don't know why I used that one - looked like fun....

maybe I should be more productive while I wait... )

Argh, all this talk about food is making my morning sickness worse!
I prefer Breastfeeding Beyond Infancy, but to be honest my first introduction to any AP related boards was when I did a search for extended breastfeeding. It's a term most people know.

:: Yes, thank you! I was beginning to think I was all alone here. I'm starting to wonder if there's a magic number, like after 100 votes we'll hear something? What do you think?

Then can we have to celebrate?
(that is, when a consensus is reached )

Oh, I just remembered...
yesterday I thought of another name:

"Extended Breastfeeding - The Older Nursling"

Why not keep the orig name but tag on the one most everyone is voting for?

Maybe I talk too much? Or maybe it took me so long to find such a nice place as MDC that once I found it I had a lot to say? I really don't know how I did that!:

ok, so what is the deal here?

is anyone else following this thread, besides me and sleepy mamaallnatural?

just wondering if there will ever be a verdict.............

I'm waiting too.

I'm thinking that maybe they're assuming that the "hype" will die out (as it seems to have done, unfortunately) or that not enough people have become involved, and that nothing will be done further. I hope I'm wrong.

I know there are far more important things going on in this crazy World right now, but life does go on...and, I feel, this does matter (however miniscule in comparison).

I've been following the thread. I just wasn't interested in coffee or sticky buns.

"Extended Breastfeeding - The Older Nursling"
I still think it's important to stop referring to it as "extended," and as someone else pointed out, even if people prefer the name "the older nursling," it can't be used as a verb. You can't say you're "older nurslinging," and "nursing an older child" is too much of a mouthful. The fact of the matter is, if the only change we make is to change the name of the forum to "the older nursling," people will still refer to "extended breastfeeding." They will keep saying "I'm EBFing." I know some people don't even like to call it "sustained," because they think it still sets us apart as doing something 'extra,' but it's still better than "extended," and the fact is, if we don't replace "extended" with "sustained," people will just continue saying "extended." I think replacing "extended" with "sustained" is an important step that we still need to take.
