IMHO....the issue many people have on this forum is with attachment parenting, not breast feeding. By age 2.5, with attachment parenting, breastfeeding has become more about comfort than nutrition!!!
I read your article Amanda and agree. However, it is promoting breastfeeding in regards to nutrition only. A child over 2 should not require night feeding and should be able to settle themselves for sleep without nursing. A child who can verbalise that they want 'boob' wants comfort, they are not hungry.
Breast feeding as a means of nurishing your child can be separate from attachment parenting.
On a daycare forum you are bound to find people who have issues with attachment parenting because the style does not lend itself to leaving your child with others...sort of goes againt the whole idea. Children are unprepared and I think it's quite unfair to suddenly expect a child to fend for themselves.
I don't think anyone here has an issue with breastfeeding. It's the combination with attachment parenting. In the OP case, it is her own child so the separation issues are not there but clearly the child needs the comfort of nursing.
