Reply #95: its not wacky at all -when my children were ill, I was SO glad

[Coexist]

I was still nursing. It was nutrition and comfort to them. They got clingy and wanted to nurse more then, when they couldn't keep anything else down, I knew they were getting all the electrolytes and what-not that they needed.

It also forced me to sit down (or lay down) with my children - just the two of us - no matter how busy or crazy things were.

My toddlers nursed a lot less than a baby did - they ate meals and snacks and nursed before breakfast, as naptime, in the evening before bed, times like that. It was sweet snuggle time. - just like you experience when you read your toddler a book.
