Liv is 13.5 months old and she nurses mornings, nights, and before naps (or when shes REALLY cranky and tired.) She doesnt show signs of being ready to stop yet, and Im not really there yet either, so we will go until one of us is. she kind of gradually dropped the other feedings on her own, so it wasnt difficult. She is at the point now, though, where if she wants it, she slaps my chest or whimpers and yanks at my shirt lol

I went til about 15 months.. And i still let her nurse before nap and sleep time even though I'm dried up.. Although,
She may be getting some colostrum?

Before I dried up I nursed before sleep and maybe 1-3x during the night. Keeled me.

Now she just likes to comfort nurse before she sleeps, but doesn't fall asleep nursing. Naps I nurse and then leave her so she can fall asleep on her own. At night I nurse a little, unlatch, and I rest next to her while she falls asleeP.

following this! DS is 6.5 months but I'm not sure what we'll do.

At 12 months we were nursing 3-4 times a day, now at 17 months we are down to 2 and I'm planning on dropping the morning one soon. It hasn't been hard to wean...toddlers are very easily distracted I've mostly been following his cues. He rarely falls asleep nursing any more, even though I let him do so for many many months.

I will be going back to work when Sawyer is a year. I work 12 hour shifts, and both day and night shifts (7-7). I don't see how we would keep it up (though I only work ~2 days per week so maybe we could still do bedtime nursing when I am home) ... IDK.
