When to Stop Breastfeeding

I am looking for opinions on when it is ok to stop breastfeeding. I nursed my 1st child to 11 mo, second didn't work out so well, and was only able to nurse for 7 weeks. My third child is now 8 mo, and I would really like to be done. He takes a bottle fine when I pump, and has also had formula, and doesn't seem to mind it. Everytime I think about stopping, I have so much guilt. I think if I made it to 1 year, I would be ok with stopping, but I'm wondering if it is really that important or beneficial to keep nursing these last few...

Milk for 12 Month Old?

My son will be 12 months soon and we are looking forward to getting him off that expensive formula but we aren't sure what to put him on after that. My 3 year old daught went on milk at 12 months with no problem but I keep hearing horror stories about milk. How it's not made for babies and it's not good for them etc. We only ever use organic milk in our house so that's not a big concern but I still hear how milk is out. What I'm not hearing is what is in? So your thoughts/suggestions and why milk is so bad would be very appreciated! ...

Feeding Cereal to newborn...terrible Diapers

We have recently started feeding my almost 6 month old son baby cereal. Prior to this he was exclusively breastfed. We started with rice cereal mixed with breastmilk once a day.

Since starting the oatmeal, he has several (4-5+) terrible, stinky, foul, greenish poopy diapers a day. Unfortunately, it coincides with my daughter being sick with cough/cold/fever. I am wondering if he has a touch of a bug from his sister OR is it a...
