Most of my children have been weaned around the 18-24 month mark, due to another baby arriving. The last two nursed into the 30 month mark. Although hesitant to wean, he may be my last baby, I am starting to feel ready and I think Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680470602835526738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-79429878589087860092014-10-29T00:29:37.618+00:002014-10-29T00:29:37.618+00:00I nursed my son until he was 26 months, and only s...I nursed my son until he was 26 months, and only stopped because I got pregnant and felt my body couldn't handle both.<br />But my son was down to once a day or every other day, so he asked sometimes for comfort and I offered snuggles instead. :) love this idea though!!Cyndi Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358362999735564578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-36571815291251484912014-10-26T19:20:28.127+00:002014-10-26T19:20:28.127+00:00I totally sympathize with how much harder it gets ...I totally sympathize with how much harder it gets to nurse as they get older! My first stopped nursing (partly on her own, partly I think I encouraged it) at 9 months, due to a lot of factors including low milk supply and biting. In some ways I was relieved to stop but I wish I'd gone longer. Now I'm nursing my second, who is 4.5 months old, and I'm really hoping to make it much Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-22419070521218970512014-10-22T19:13:58.413+00:002014-10-22T19:13:58.413+00:00i went back to work after 14 weeks with my son in ...i went back to work after 14 weeks with my son in daycare in my office building, so transitioning away from nursing was much, much easier. at first i either pumped or went up to nurse, then i quit pumping (he was 6 months) because i couldn't stand it anymore and just told the daycare to call me to nurse. by then he was often distracted and preferred to play than nurse in daycare. so at 8 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-20557149274449918812014-10-22T18:09:45.221+00:002014-10-22T18:09:45.221+00:00Sounds like a nice party and a gentle transition!
...Sounds like a nice party and a gentle transition!<br /><br />My kids are 9 years apart, so no tandem nursing for me. My son gradually reduced nursing until he was 28 months and it was mostly just at bedtime. Then one night he kept starting and stopping and saying, "Wrong shape. Mama fix me?" It did feel like his mouth was a different shape than usual, but I thought that must be Becca @ The Earthlings Handbookhttp://articles.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-9625416614957429172014-10-21T23:16:39.322+00:002014-10-21T23:16:39.322+00:00I nursed my little girl until 20 or 22 months, som...I nursed my little girl until 20 or 22 months, somewhere around there. Up until that point we were still nursing every 3 hours in the day and maybe once at night. Plus all the other goofing around nursing sessions. <br /><br />We were at my parents and my mom was stuffing her and she forgot about feeding FOR A WHOLE DAY! Then the next!
