Morning Bessie, I second the advice to ring one of the really knowledgeable helplines so you can get more accurate information. I have seen it happen so many times on here, that a woman has been told by her (ultra cautious? or perhaps just ignorant?) gp that she must not breastfeed with a certain medication, when the truth is she can, or that there is another equally effective drug she can take, that doesn't interfere with bf.
I was another who waited for my ds to be ready for potty training - he was about 3 when the time came (I can't even remember exactly - the actual age is so unimportant in the grand scheme of things!) and the 'training' consisted of me saying 'ok, why not wear pants from now on' and then showing him how to use the potty and toilet. Training late hasn't affected his ability to toilet himself independently, or his reliability in making it to the toilet. He is very reliable and the whole event was fairly unremarkable.
I don't disapprove of the kind of early 'training' called EC, no - it's an entirely different method to traditional potty training - based on being sensitive to your child's cues - not based on anything that runs counter to what the child is ready or able to do at that stage of their life.
I do understand some people find breastfeeding odd or creepy, yes, - believe me, all of us extended bfer are WELL aware of this! While people have the right to hold that opinion, I do think they should be careful about how and when they express this opinion. Other people might personally have certain opinions about gay people, or mixed race relationships, or disabled people. It would be their right to hold these opinions, but I question whether it is their right to express them, in public, where other people may hear and be offended / upset by them. Telling someone their choices are harmful, wrong, or freakish can be very hurtful, and as other posters here have mentioned, unthinking comments like this can stay with you.
