Garrett Mon, 07 May 2007 11:54:19 +0000 http://www.breastfeeding123.com/fostering-independence-in-the-breastfed-child/#comment-892 Thanks! I really needed to read this article this morning. My youngest is 22 months old and has been, by far, the most attached of my three. I nurse her "on cue" as well, and she still sleeps beside me most of the night. The thing is, while my husband was supportive in the beginning, he's now asserting that all of this HAS to come to an end. I've never been one of those moms who can let her child "cry it out." I tell him that she has an obvious need that we should try to meet, and that she will eventually stop nursing and sleep in her own bed. All I hear is, "She'll be nursing until she's five." Hopefully not (for my own sanity), but it's hard all the same when one of your biggest supporters is all of a sudden turning out not to be. Thanks! I really needed to read this article this morning.

I am hoping to see those same types of things with my wonderful son. He is only 21 months old right now and still very much needing to be by my side most of the time, but I hope that it will pay off and help him become independent when the time is right. That’s great.

But you prove it wrong and it's important to know that when the time comes, it comes.
