I'm with you on that. Animals know enough to wean their young when they start cutting teeth and eating solid food. I honestly don't see the benefit for older kids to be nursing past a year old.They stop drinking milk and start on water too.
We're the only species that drinks milk for the sake of it. And we're the only species that drinks the milk of another species.
Trust me, Ant. I was on your side of the fence, very much so, when I was pregnant with my son, and got into some heated debates about it.
However, I was proven wrong on so many counts I finally had to concede. I won't go into all of that because no one gives a shit really, but research it sometime if you have a mind to. The fact is, it is recommended to nurse your kid until 2-3 years of age, if they want it by every major medical and health group I know of.
