Time breastfeeding cover sparks controversy

46. Good for you. Congratulations on your family...truly.

Many kids don't get to nurse at all and get along fine, as well. Many kids don't get a "natural" birth and come out just fine. My son started snatching at "real" food at 8 months, walked at 10 months, weaned himself at 18 months, talked early, etc. He's an Aries and I've been chasing him ever since...he was homeschooled through Kindergarten and a neighborhood Preschool Coop and now is doing great, as well. Each parent-child relationship is unique. No one is judging you, your child or your choices.

Early Childhood Education in California, which included Pre K -3rd grade, began in 1971 because of mothers having to go out into the workplace. Lots of stay-at-home mothers had a lot of judgment around that. Some public school systems began to provide for kids during the day younger than 5 or kindergarten age. We were a pilot program in the South Whittier School District and we had a full educational curriculum. But the kids had to be weaned to come to preschool/PreK and for the mother to go to work. That's all.
