DD was 3 when she weaned and I'm hoping for the same for this one (he's 16 months now). I wish DS1 would have nursed longer but he self weaned before 2.

I nursed A for 14.5months and I have no desire to go longer with #2. I won't stop if he/she isn't ready, but it was hard!

DS nursed for 13 months, I wouldn't mind going longer but I don't think I can handle pumping at work past a year to keep up my supply.

i nursed until just after 13 months. I was down to mornings only. I stopped offering and she never asked, so that was how we weaned. My goal was always a year and then consider the situation we were in. I'll probably do the same for LO #2.

I didn't bf at all with my LO and it actually worked out pretty well for us. It's weird, but in some ways in the interest of fairness, I'm not sure I'd bf a potential next LO - I'd feel like I was giving one something I didn't give the other. Maybe that's nuts! Not sure!

I had to wean when LO was 21 months because of some antibiotics I took following my D&C (now, I'm not so sure that I really had to but at the time that is what the doctor told me, and it was a hard enough time so I just went with it). I was basically ready to wean but I'm sad LO had to wean before she was ready. For any future children I'd hope they could just wean when they're ready (but I'd also love that to be by their 2nd birthday!).

All I care about is exclusive breastfeeding until a year. I did it with my daughter and hope to be able to do it with all future children. After that, whatever happens is fine with me. LO is almost 14 months and still nurses most mornings and nights, but sometimes she skips it. I mostly let her take the lead. She's definitely not ready to totally wean yet... when it's bed time she tries to rip my shirt off.
