I just read an article on breastfeeding that is extremely interesting (Thanks Kim!). I have almost always let my babies “schedule” and wean themselves, but found many of the findings brought forth in this article very enlightening. I am not sure I agree with the pacifier idea, as I have two boys (the oldest and youngest at this writing) who insisted on having pacifiers, as their need to suck constantly was (is) manifest. My oldest was born with blisters on his hands from sucking in utero and he still sucks on his fingers! I guess that goes along with the premise that all babies are different though, and I can definitely see how the pacifier could be abused. http://www.fix.net/~rprewett/evidence.html Speaking of breastfeeding, someone is calling me… | ||
hi there…i am a new blogger here, and i just have to comment how cool this is. i just today read this very article.
I am due in the spring with my 4th baby and i have been perusing a lot of breastfeeding articles lately gearing up for baby..and just today i read this VERY article. i stumbled upon it at a website that has some really great articles and christian parenting advice. if you are interested in the site you can go to: http://www.gentlemothering.com/aboutgcm/.
what are the odds that you read this while i too was reading it? with all the millions of different breastfeeding articles on the web..i just thought to myself…perhaps the Lord is working in this area with some moms.
or maybe then again, i am just plain odd 😉
blessings!
