LOL!

DS nursed for over 2 years and DD for over 3 years.

But neither my brother or I ever were nursed at all and were most likely HG+.

What I do think nursing helped my kids with was security. Being a very shy, insecure kid, I always felt like part of that was just my brother and I had to really push hard to get attention from our parents. I really wanted my kids to feel like they had (and continue to have) as much attention as they need in whatever age appropriate form seemed right. I really let them take the lead on weaning.
