I think being secretive (maybe not the right word) about our plans makes it feel like it's bad/wrong/dirty. If I treat it like a normal issue I think others are more likely to do the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-588031 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 18:12:59 +0000 pastemoo 588031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: :) can i watch? Hahah.

I just tell her, "whenever we're ready" :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587903 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:53:23 +0000 MsMini 587903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one has ever asked me, but I suppose I would tell them that my goal was a year, but that S is ultimately in charge. This question would make me sad since recently my milk supply had dropped and S isn't enjoying nursing as much anymore (he is 9 1/2 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587891 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:48:44 +0000 mamabird 587891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell everyone a year and we'll see what happens. Why do they care anyway? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587867 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:38:40 +0000 runsyellowlites 587867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we plan to self wean I just say "As long as she wants". :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587861 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:36:33 +0000 mrsjazz 587861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really get those questions anymore because I have been telling everyone since the beginning that my plan was for a year to 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587839 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:26:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 587839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say that I hope to make it to a year, and that as far as I'm concerned anything past that is lagniappe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587838 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:26:32 +0000 bushelandapeck 587838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep waiting to hear this question (LO is 6 mos) and I think I'm going to tell people we'll stop when he's ready or when I decide to have another one. Whichever comes first :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587833 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:24:11 +0000 Rubies 587833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just responded that my plan was for one year but that we'd see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587823 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:20:35 +0000 T.H.O.U. 587823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its about typical for the time for those questions to come in. </p> <p>I typically just responded that we were going to continue as long as things were going well (aka mom and baby were both happy) but obviously we would stop before she turned 10! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587822 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:19:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 587822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankfully I'm not asked often! But I'm sure it will come up more now that he is one. I will say we will see how it goes and quit when mutually desired :) why stop a good thing? We're both happy and that's what matters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-handle-the-when-are-you-going-to-stop-questions#post-587814 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 16:18:30 +0000 littlebittyhouse 587814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately people have been asking me when I am going to stop nursing my LO. I am not sure if it is his age (8mo) or the fact that he has teeth now. I never know how to answer though.</p> <p>A should note, I plan on nursing until at least a year and hopefully longer. </p>
