no...not at all. If she's still nursing that's all she really NEEDS...everything else is extra

 

[musicmom]

I agree. That's all she needs. Are you introducing her to table foods at least?
You should know if your daughter is using your breast as a pacifier or for actually feeding herself.

exactly!

My daughter is 15m.o. and she also wouldn't drink anything, but nurse. And so is my 32 months old son

 

[musicmom]

Yulia, you are bf'ing your 32 month old son still?

 

[theresatwis]

Yes I have introduced her to solid foods. She's not using the breast as a pacifier. I was just afraid that she wouldn't be getting enough nutrition. Thank you so much.

No, it's not a bad thing at all, but I would continue to encourage a sippy cup. She can't get her fluids from Mom's chest forever. LOL! Try different styles with different spouts. Some babies do better with sport straw type sippy cups. Good luck!

I think there is something very special about it...not a lot of mothers are willing to go that long

who is talking about forever? but the average weaning age, according to WHO, is 3-5years.

I know PLENTY of american mothers (both online and in real life) who nurse MUCH longer than that!

wow...you can't even take a compliment.

 

[yulia]

wow...you can't even take a compliment.

I just don't think it's a big deal, that's all.

But I do appreciate your compliment

I'm not referring to breastfeeding. I'm referring to the simple fact that kids <I>need</I> to learn to drink from a cup at some point. How on earth would they drink water, milk, juice, etc. otherwise?

good gawd.

I agree. It is part of growing up and being a part of NORMAL society.

I agree. It is part of growing up and being a part of NORMAL society.

Just recently I saw a great bumper sticker saying:
"Normal people scary me"

As for learning to drink, when my daughter was READY, she asked to take a sip when I offered juice to my son. So I gave her (with a straw) and she drank like if she was always doing it. When they are ready, they do not have to learn it; they just go ahead and DO it![/COLOR]

 

[musicmom]

I guess now we know why they made that sticker
