I'm not sure what you're asking.

My first weaned at 15 months. I didn't offer one day and she never asked for it. She moved to solids and WCM.

My second weaned at 10 months when I was seven months pregnant and had reduced milk supply. She refused bottles and went to WCM in a sippy with a substantial amount of solids.

I weaned my DD when she was 13.5 months. I do remember that she went through a phase between 7-9 months though when she became not as interested/easily distracted. I think it's because she was noticing her surroundings more. I just made sure to keep offering because I wanted to EBF for 1 year.

Weaning her was super easy though, and I just slowly reduced the number of feedings.

@pachamama: Just keep offering! It always helped to go somewhere quiet too, with no/little noise (in the nursery, make sure TV is turned off in the living room)

My baby is 8 months old and a super distracted nurser. She's also really fast when she is focusing. So I just bring her into a quiet room to nurse every time. Sometimes it's like 5 minutes, or even less, but my breast is noticeably less full so I think she is just very efficient and I have a fast letdown. Then she wants to get back to the action. I'm glad she's fast since I have to lock her big sister out of the room to have any chance of getting her to eat.

But my older one did self wean- she stopped asking or seeming as interested in nursing, dropping one session at a time, until I would have to ask a few times if she wanted milk at bedtime. So one night I didn't ask and she went to sleep without it and that was it. But she was 19 months then.

@pachamama: I nursed my kids until they decided to stop at 13.5 & 14.5 months. Both were down to nursing mornings, evenings and MOTN by 9m or so because they ate solids for breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner. They had water with their meals.
