A pleasant surprise from the mainstream media

I signed up for BabyCenter's weekly e-mails while I was pregnant. Since my baby was born, I've been receiving their weekly developmental updates. Usually, they're full of mainstream crap and not much else. That said, I read the monthly blurbs anyway. What can I say?

So, I got the 11-month e-mail this evening and saw the "when to wean" topic and promptly clicked on it, ready for the worst. However, I was quite pleasantly surprised. They have a "pros and cons of nursing past your baby's first birthday" piece and it really is very positive. I think if I were on the standard wean-at-1 plan, I might think twice after reading this piece.

Here it is: http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/tod...feed/8496.html

While still too mainstream for me, I am happy to see "Still breastfeeding your toddler? Good, keep it up" articles from time to time.

I agree! Even if its still a little mainstream, I'm glad that the concept of EBF is out there in the mainstream literature at all. We have to start somewhere right?
