Excerpt from Babyhood, Vol. 6: A Monthly Magazine for Mothers; December, 1889, to November, 1890 The child Should have been weaned last spring, when he was about a year old. We have here the anomaly of a child still suckling at the age of seventeen months, and at the same time eating heartily of diet which few children of two years old can successfully deal with. You should, in our Opinion, wean him entirely at once from the breast. A child of his age needs nothing from his supper-time, say 7 P. M., till morning, except a drink of water. In fact, this is true of children much younger than he. As you have let him get into very bad habits of feeding both by day and night, you may have some trouble but if you persevere you will succeed, for he has demonstrated that he has unusual digestive power.
