I think babies that age are very busy, and since she's getting most of her nutrition now from solid food she doesn't ask to nurse because she doesn't need it. I bet if she was sick or tired or something she would ask for the comfort of it. I'd say you can go either way - if you want to wean her stop offering, and if you want to keep nursing just keep offering. For comparison my son weaned himself when he was about that age but he wouldn't nurse when I offered, he just pushed me away and yelled whenever I tried to nurse him.

I agree you could wean now if you want to but don't have to. My experience was I had to offer multiple times before she would come nurse- so at that point I really knew she was ready, even though she would nurse well once she started. When *I* was ready, one night I didn't offer and just did the rest of the bedtime routine and that was that. The nice thing is if you decide to wean now, you know it and can prepare yourself and savor the last few times.

This is interesting. My 13 month old is more nursing obsessed now than he ever was in his first year.

My DD (18 mo) stopped asking to nurse... well honestly I don't even remember exactly when it was, because we plowed right ahead with the wakeup feeding and bedtime feeding without waiting for her to ask. We've been doing that for almost six months and, for me personally, I'm so glad we did - there have been times when she was sick when she asked to nurse in the middle of the day and I was so touched that she needed and wanted that, and I was glad to be able to give it to her.

But I do think it's up to your preference at this point. You could wean if you want to.
