If I go get her MOTN we nurse. She is showing no signs of self weaning...... And I don't have the heart to wean but also have no desire to tandem nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255642 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:43:09 +0000 Ms.SK 1255642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17.5 months and the twins are still nursing. They nurse in the morning, when I get home from work and sometimes before bed then whenever they wake at night. We cosleep so it is easy in that I sleep in the middle of them and just turn over. They have open access on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255629 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:40:01 +0000 prettylizy 1255629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD dropped her night session around 6-7 months and weaned a few months after I started back to work at her first birthday. I'm pretty sure her last nursing session was somewhere between 14-15 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255607 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:34:02 +0000 Mamaof2 1255607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD stopped MOTN at 12 months - then she weaned on her own at 15 months - she was never a comfort nurser though - she nursed solely for food!</p> <p>DS was a boob monster!! HUGE comfort nurser - he stopped MOTN at 12 months and then I weaned him at 20 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255463 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 08:37:56 +0000 hilsy85 1255463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still at 4x a day at 13.5 months. I'd like to be at 2 by end of the year! We'll see how that goes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255434 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 08:22:05 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1255434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's almost 11 months and still nursing 6/7 times a day. I think I'm in it for a lot longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255342 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 07:28:05 +0000 LulaBee 1255342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still going strong at 16 months. She nurses ALL DAY on the weekends, and about 4x a day during the week (I work out of the home). Usually once or twice in the middle of the night. I'd love it if she'd drop those motn feedings!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255005 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:27:42 +0000 immabeetoo 1255005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're at 3x a day, hoping to be at 2 by Christmas. He signs for milk if he wants it, and I took a don't offer, don't refuse approach to dropping the first day feed and so far he couldn't care any less, he loves having a snack! Makes me half sad, half glad that he's on board with the transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1255003 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 21:25:55 +0000 Arden 1255003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Aww really?

I'm also still pumping and will until at least a year. I'm going to try to cut down some of the night sessions and possibly pump less after the new year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254688 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:39:09 +0000 MsLipGloss 1254688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She didn't. I weaned her. She hasn't nursed in 5 days . . . she just turned 15 months. It was time. Even though I am still sad about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254686 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:38:01 +0000 NovBaby1112 1254686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10.5 months, which I read is pretty early. But she got a cold around then and hasn't wanted to since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254682 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:36:09 +0000 sandy 1254682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 months. She was down to 2 nursing sessions around 12 months and I stopped offering the night session bc she would barely nurse (a few seconds) and then after a few weeks I didn't nurse her first thing in the morning and just gave her a cup of water and headed down to breakfast and she never complained or tried to nurse after that so we were done...that morning session had become super short too and she was eating a ton of solids </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254676 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:33:35 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1254676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ellie stopped at age 5. She was down to just nursing before bed and occasionally when really upset about something.</p> <p>Lorelei is still nursing at 20 months, in the daytime and in the night. She nurses about 2x after she goes down for the night, but doesn't fully wake up for those nursings. During the day it varies depending on what we're up to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254666 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:27:32 +0000 chopsuey 1254666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd didnt self wean. I made her stop at around 28 months.<br /> DS weaned at 10.5 months and I've been pumping. He drinks his breastmilk from a straw. One day he started crying and fighting me when I tried to nurse him.<br /> Sad times, but I'm glad I'll be done soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254631 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 18:04:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1254631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 days ago. :(</p> <p>19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254609 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:53:42 +0000 Kemma 1254609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A is almost fourteen months and still nursing 6-10 times in a 24 hour period, incl 1-2 sessions during the night (although she sometimes wakes and we bed share without nursing). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254593 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:44:58 +0000 yellowbird 1254593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14.5 months. I woh though and I think she would've gone longer ifi stayed at home. I had no supply left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254552 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:22:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 1254552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By 15 months we were down to one early morning session. I think we might have kept that a while longer, but then he got sick, was so congested that he couldn't latch on/breathe through his nose, so he stopped. My long-term goal was a year and I had no interest in pumping to keep up my supply (which I think was starting to dwindle anyway), so when he was well enough to try again I was dried up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254532 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:15:10 +0000 misolee 1254532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO just turned 14 months. When she turned 1, she showed no signs of slowing down. She nursed in the morning, in the afternoon, and before she went to bed. I slowly stopped afternoon one and by accident she stopped the night one (we had been out late for couple of days in a row) and she just slept through the carseat to crib transfer. And magically at around 13 months, she lost all interest slowly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254483 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:56:27 +0000 Beyond2 1254483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cchoi4: I night weaned my son using the Sleep easy night weaning method just before DS's first birthday. I was fine nursing him still but i was done with waking up in the middle of the night lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254475 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:51:38 +0000 MamaJ 1254475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cchoi4: DS STTN about half the time. And if he wakes at night I do nurse him. Though after a terrible night of sleep last night (teething maybe?) I told myself no more MOTN nursing. I always cave though... </p> <p>It is rare that he wakes more than once though. And it's usually a super quick nursing session and right back to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254474 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:49:53 +0000 plantains 1254474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She weaned at 13 months. It was gradual by 12 months we were only nursing in the am anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254462 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:44:14 +0000 Cchoi4 1254462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beyond2: @MamaJ: hi ladies. So do any of your sessions happen in the middle of the night? or is it mainly in the daytime? If daytime, when did your MOTN sessions end? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254447 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:40:46 +0000 MamaJ 1254447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS turns one tomorrow and shows no signs of self weaning. He nurses 3-4 times per day. Less if we are out and he is distracted though. </p> <p>Interested to hear responses because I'm ready to wean but not looking forward to the process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254444 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:39:23 +0000 Beyond2 1254444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 15 months old and shows no signs of self weaning despite the fact that I am 20 weeks pregnant! He still nurses 4 times a day and would more if I let him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-ebf-wean-themselves#post-1254441 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:38:14 +0000 Cchoi4 1254441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious when your LO weaned his or herself? LO is only 4 months old and is EBF. I love being able to feed/comfort him since I wasn't able to with my first. </p> <p>When did your LO wean and how did it happen? </p>
