Well I guess I won’t have to wean Marjorie after all so gave her some more dinner today. She got real sick. Wouldn’t eat, bowels tied up and she has not cracked a smile since Tuesday. On consulting my calendar I see it is just exactly the wrong time in the moon. Almost believe there is something in it as I believe she would just pine away if I held out any longer.
(The wrong time of the moon for weaning a baby? I've heard of planting by the moon, but not this.)

Your grandmother's remark piqued my curiosity, Carol - googling around finds a lot of references to people who believe in it, both for farm animals and for humans, [some quoting old Farmers Almanac tables].

I've never heard of timing weaning with the moon either. She was barely a year old then. I think she was just too young to be weaned. Some children need to nurse longer than others.
