Weaning a two-and-a-half-year old is HARD :(

[Wonderwiper]

While I agree with most things you said Bright sparks....throwing your toys out of the crib just because everyone doesn't agree with you is silly. I think most people here share general beliefs on breast feeding. When you ask for advice on a public forum you will get all sorts of opinions. Take em or leave em.

My take on being advised to try another forum is that if you only want to hear what people with exactly the same beliefs as you have to say then you need to try a more specific forum.

Silly maybe but a perfectly human response when possibly feeling like you are backed into a corner....people tend to have strong beliefs on AP and breastfeed, separately or together. I don't think she should have deleted her posts and wish I could refer back to her original post in response to you ww, but now I can't lol

I also don't think she is a seasoned provider and is new to the forum so explains why she may have run a mile at all us strong heads who have no problem giving or taking opposite opinions. I know that I have had to take a step back from hearing/reading opinions that go against mine in the past when I have asked for advice. it's a lesson to be learnt by many to take advice even in the harshest forms when we don't hear what we want to. I wouldn't have deleted my posts though. Time and reflection usually helps me to realize that what the other person was saying was actually true or gives me the reaffirmation that actually what I am doing is right. Written opinions are frequently misinterpreted too, especially on a forum full of strong and independent business women.
