Sorry.. not true.
I am indee a comminteed to practice K-yoga, meditatioin and many alternative health modalities. But i have very solid academic, and cultural training. Yopu have an opinion, and I respect that deeply. But it is not a fact.'
Make no mistake. I will protect the children first. I will never allow abuse, regardless of cultural norms, or the lack of knowledge by individuals. '' The children always come first.

Sat Nam!
I have been nursing consecutively for almost 5 years (2 different children). This has been a thought that I had as well. From my understanding, it is a gradual process. We release toxins everyday without yoga. Yoga just helps it happen more efficiently. I haven't noticed any adverse affects in my 2 year old who still nurses. I will have been practicing a year this June.
Kristy - There is no reason that the original poster should consider weaning her child if neither she nor her child is ready to do so. Breastfeeding is a mutual decision and if she is still happy nursing and her baby wants to nurse then this relationship can only strengthen the security her baby feels in the world, not to mention that breastmilk is the perfect food for her child. The AAP suggests breastfeeding for at least 6 months, but says that a year or more is excellent and very beneficial to mother and baby. The average age in the world to wean is around age 3. Most children will naturally wean at that time as my oldest daughter did. It has only been with the introduction of formula and baby foods at early ages that we have felt this social pressure to wean. Breastfeeding helps in so many ways naturally space our children, by decreasing fertility somewhat in many women. I have to say that my oldest daughter is a very secure child, independent, and
happy in the world. I have seen no adverse affects for either her nor myself in extended breastfeeding, and no doctor we have seen has ever told us to stop for any reason. She weaned herself at age 3 with no trouble,tears, or feelings of separation.
Thanks,
Kelli
