"up to two years of age or beyond", says WHO.
My daughter will be 2 in July. I'm going to attempt to cut out the night feeds then but I might still feed her before bed. We'll see.

You don't think that if you didn't feed her in the night, she wouldn't wake in the night?

You don't think we haven't tried that?

Sorry, we've had a similar conversation before.
It's easy to forget that what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another.

Yeah.
Most of my parenting decisions are made out of sheer convenience so when feeding and co-sleeping maximised everyone's sleep we went with that. The night wakings aren't too bad now but the early mornings are a killer.

We had to bribe my son with a new toy in the end.
He was about two years, eight months.

the world average life expectancy is less than 50.
I don't think that's a very good argument.

It was less an argument, more a statement.
I imagine that one of the reasons the world average is high is because it includes very poor countries where food is scarce and breastfeeding is a free, nutritious option.

I know, I don't think I really meant argument tbh
It's just an interesting area - I know no-one here is doing it but it's amazing how some people will use the "but look, everyone in third world coutries does x and y so it must good" as a justification for a first world choice when if people just stopped and thought for a single second they would see how idiotically retarded that is.

Agreed. Likewise with the prehistoric argument.
I've spent long enough digging up prehistoric homes and tombs to realise I'd like a somewhat more comfortable life than that, please.
