Okay, please don't tell me you've all managed to wean your babes and i'm the only one still nursing my 18 month old. She still wants it in the morning and at night. We want to start TTC soon, and i don't want to be nursing while i'm pregnant!

She is 17 months and still nursing twice on weekdays, and maybe slightly more on weekends. No sign of stopping! I don't think I will force her to wean, just wait for it to happen on her own.

Almost 16 months and nursing 3-6 times a day, and 2 times most nights.

18 months and still nursing about 3x a day: at bedtime, middle of the night, and morning. More on the weekends and when she's sick. No signs of stopping.

14 months soon and going strong. Kinda surprised that we're considered extended nursing ... I think of that as over 2 years.

14.5 months and curently nursing AM & PM. I'm pregnant as well so it's been a little more draining than usual.

@Orvis18: Congrats! Is there anything you need to be aware of when nursing while pregnant? I guess that's my worry.

@Freckles: not that I'm aware of. My OB knows about it and hasn't said anything I needed to do differently. I do feel more hungry than I was with my first pregnancy though, and definitely more thirsty. It's hard to make sure I drink enough fluids during the day.

17.5 months and definitely gone down from the "on demand" at 15.5 months but far from weaning,

25 months and still 2 or 3 times a day. My daughter is not making the transition to less very easily. She still frequently doesn't eat enough and then wakes up hungry overnight, even though we haven't nursed at night since 13 months. She's also starting to actually throw tantrums, which is new. I think that before, her blood sugar was way more consistent due to nursing. A rough transition.

18 months and a minimum of 2x a day. She wants more now than ever before. Sigh. I'm really wondering if she'll self wean by 2 we have been TTC to no avail and I do wonder if BFing is hindering it....

@Freckles: I think if you have high blood pressure during pregnancy it's a concern to nurse while pregnant.

15mo and still nursing all.the.time haha - seriously! I think it's more than most of the months before he turned 1. It's worse now that he knows how to ask for it or (even better) get to it himself. He still probably nurses 3-4x during the day and 2x in the middle of the night.

20.5 months and we're down to twice a day - first thing in the morning and after her nap.

An update here, 16 months this week and he weaned on his own last week. It could have possibly been a strike but with being 0% height and weight (and doctor pushing us to add cows milk) and being 10 weeks pregnant, I didn't push the issue and let it happen (sadly).
