I much prefer the health questions surrounding breast feeding to the idiocy of people freaking out about women nursing in public.

My goal was to make it to a year, and with one year rapidly approaching, I think that I will not be ready at one year– nor will The Boy. I enjoy nursing, and I hope The Boy continues for a while yet– even if it is just once before bed or a few times a day.

Mike- I predict that in the next 5 years, the various conditions we now call “Autism” will become about 7 different conditions, and not all of them will be under the PDD umbrella.

I really hate issues like breastfeeding and autism. These fields get complete overrun by conflicting information and research to the point where it is impossible to figure our whether the research is genuine or was skewed to the opinion of the person doing the research. And then when the media gets a hold of it afterward, I have trouble even bothering to read about it.

It’s sad really.
