Find another pediatrician--quick--preferably one practicing in the 21st century--or even the 20th, for that matter.

When to stop breastfeeding is different for every mother and child. I was hoping to go for the better part of my son's first year, but around seven months he started goofing around and flip-flopping all over the bed when he was supposed to be nursing, so I said forget it, you're wasting my time, and he was fine with that. (And now, at 2 1/2, he seems perfectly well adjusted.) Watching for the signs of disinterest is the best indication the child is done with the breast.

And :wtf: with the scary stuff? Any doctor who suggests scaring the bejeezus out of child for ANYthing should be kicked to the curb.
