I was over it at 10 months. DS was too. He was so distracted and I felt like I was constantly fighting with him to eat. So we just stopped and it was wonderful! He drank WCM instead and I had my body back, win-win.

Mine is 11 months too and I'm over it. He just got his first teeth and he keeps biting me. That just wasn't an issue with LO1.

4 months, I started to wean her at 6 months.

I was OVER IT from like 4-7 months...then it was fine for a while. I didn't love it until 10 months when we finally were down to 4 feedings a day. Then I loved it until 12-13 months but he still wasn't sleeping through the night, and I never had intentions of nursing a toddler, so we weaned at 13.5 months. By that time we were just down to 2x a day (before bed and overnight or like 4/5 am). Although he was a super spit up baby until 8-9 months we had an awesome nursing relationship and I think we stopped at just the right time for both of us.

I kept going back and forth. At 8 months, my supply dropped and pumping enough became stressful and I was so sick of my elimination diet but I powered through it to 12 months. At that point, I dropped all but the morning and evening sessions and got to stop the elimination diet so I was ok with it for a few more months. After awhile, I got sick of the morning one so I dropped that, and we kept the evening one for a really long time. I only dropped that one because we wanted another LO but I kept miscarrying and I wasn't sure if that one session was messing things up. By the time we got to that point though, I was off the elimination diet and she was a very quick nurser, so I had no issue keeping that session for close to a year.

Around 15 months...unfortunately DD was not over it and still isn't at 2.5. It's been rough on me, but at the same time we've warded off several EPIC toddler tantrums with a bit of nursing so at least that's something.

Pretty much from the get-go.

I was very close to quitting around 3.5 months into it, but managed to push through and it got a lot easier. Now she's 13.5 months and we are in a really easy rhythm that I don't mind at all.

From day 1 with DS but we pressed thru! At 20 months I was DONE DONE DONE and weaned him. I could not stand the tugging at my shirt -ugh!

With DD - never - she was a easy nurser - I was sad when she weaned at 15 months

6 months both times. I was ready to get my body independently back. No more leaking, can eat/drink what I want when I want, exercising comfortably, not planning my wardrobe around taking my shirt off...

I actually really like breastfeeding this time around, LO is almost 8 months... I hate pumping though! So annoying, and such a disruption in my work day, but my supply is pretty measly so I really need to keep it up.

With my first I'd say I was 'over it' at around 9 months... I'm about 99% sure I'm going to go longer with this baby than my first, mainly because this LO STILL occasionally refuses bottles and much prefers me. So I'm definitely stuck with it until at least 1, but I'm OK with it!

I also think a part of it is that I know this will be my last time breastfeeding as I'm not planning on any more kids.... and I can barely even remember nursing my older son so I value the time so much more.

I was only over it once I had a chemical pregnancy and it hurt like whoooooa to nurse, plus I didn't think I had much milk left. Lo was 22 months by then and it was just time for me. She was a boob monster but really demanding about it in a way that wasn't comfortable for me anymore (like, wanting to nurse during pick up from daycare---girl, we gotta get home and let the teachers do their thing instead of waiting for you! haha). I had wanted her to self-wean since we had so many issues early on in nursing (supply was low, so supplemented from 2-12 months) and were finally in a great place, but it just hurt to much then and I was an emotional mess from the cp

Um.... right now? LO is almost 13 mo, i pump weaned about 1 month ago and we've been nursing morning and night since then, but now he's biting me during our nighttime nursing session. I'm just over it. I gave him a bottle last night and will not offer tonight. I did nurse this morning but will probably wean from that session too.

Around age 2 I was ready to be done. We finally stopped a little after her second birthday.

Hahaha, whoops! Wrong thread
But I was over breastfeeding at 22 months and finished weaning at 24!

@BrandNewMom: what?

I never liked it but we had no issues so I kept at it until 1. Fully weaned by 13 months.

I felt over it the first night I nursed on demand at home. This was after a few days of giving baby the bottle to make sure he was getting enough fluids. I was able to share night time feeding duty with DH. When I finally mustered enough confidence to breastfeed again I forgot how exhausting and painful it was to nurse all.the.time.

Im over it now at 10 months. I've had some clogs lately and it's making nursing more painful. DS is also getting SUPER squirmy and doing acrobatics during his nursing sessions. It's no longer a nice peaceful time with my baby. I really can not fathom nursing him much long then 1 years!

Eta- I'm a SAHM so I think that has a little bit to do with it.

With my first, I was over it around 10 months, but pushed forward to make it to one year...literally. His last nursing session was on his 1-year birthday!

With my second, I'm home now, so I've been thinking of whether I should go longer, just cause it's easy/no bottles and human milk is probably still easier for her to digest. We will see...about 5 months in so far.
