no. i stopped with my 18 month old because we were both getting over it. it ended at just the right time for us both! it was a little bittersweet at first, but i didn't feel guilt!

20 months!!!! Hell no! Rock on, sister. I weaned around 16 months because... i didn't feel like either of us really needed to keep going.

"starting to get a little bite-y, and I was just ready to have my body fully back. " <~Sounds like a "reason" to me You don't need a "real" reason. You can just be over it.

My 18 month old is MEAN to my boobs, i can't imagine how cruel she'd be if she actually got to use them regularly LOL.

20 months is an amazing accomplishment!!

We weaned at 14 months bc I was "over it" as well. No guilt no regrets. But I did try to make that last nursing session count - just focused on him with no distractions. Anything after 12 months was a bonus!

I weaned at 15 months because I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't offer one day. What happened was she weaned! I totally didn't think through what I was doing and was bummed when she didn't even seem to miss it.

Yes, I definitely cried about it. But he ended up losing interest mostly on his own, so it wasn't too bad. I will probably end up nursing the next one forever because I won't want to stop!

I felt a little guilty about weaning my 14 month old because I wanted my body back. He was fine with weaning, but would have been fine nursing a lot longer. I did not feel guilty about weaning LO down to 1 feeding a day at 12 months, because pumping and never sleeping in were getting old, although that probably affected him more than completely weaning at 14 months did. I don't feel guilty about the nutrients, just that he seemed to enjoy it.

Me! I want to have K weaned by Christmas (she'll be 16 months). She's only nursing once or twice a day, and when I'm not around, she doesn't really care or ask for milk. But since I have no 'real' reason for weaning, I feel bad, because she's so attached to it.

I weaned at 14 months for the same reasons and didn't feel guilty at all! Lo didn't ever ask for it while we were weaning so I think she was ready too.

I weaned at 14.5ish months for no real good reason, besides she was down to two times a day on work days and sometimes three on weekends, and really wanted to walk around more than she wanted to nurse, unless she was reeeally in the mood. I sometimes wonder if I should have pushed it a bit more, but decided to call it that she weaned herself and not feel guilty about it.
