If you didn't plan to nurse past 12 months, did you?
I always said I had no interest in nursing past 12 months, but it's a month away and now I think I'm fine with morning and night nursing for a bit after that. Getting nostalgic!
-
I did not, but I was on the line! The last day he nursed was the morning of his first birthday. We were down to one nursing session anyways, so it wasn't that hard, but I still get nostalgic (plus the lazy part of me hates getting out of bed when he's hungry in the morning).
-
I had no set plans on when to stop nursing. With DS, he was going to daycare and I had no interest in pumping past 9 months. So, I slowly weaned him. He was weaned by 11 months. With DD, pregnancy dried me up so I had to wean her earlier than planned, started around 9 months and she was completely weaned by 11 months.
-
He weaned at 13 months!
-
Yes! I got to 12 months and so no reason to stop.... it was easy to pump at work. I did cut from 3 pumping sessions to 2, though at that point.
-
Yep! Stopped pumping but LO has not decreased nursing at all and still has MOTN wake ups to nurse (ugh). And has been sick a lot and sometimes only nurses so I haven't had the heart to wean at all. Haven't even done WCM due to my freezer stash. She's 13.5 mo now.
-
I planned to stop at 12 months. Somehow she still nurses once each day now at 25 months...
-
Planned to stop at 12 months. I did stop pumping and just kept the morning and night sessions. She self weaned at 14 months and we had a great end to our nursing relationship!
-
Nope. I planned to stop at 12 months since the pedi said he technically stopped getting as much nutrition from it at like 6 months! I stopped pumping at 11 months and weaned him at 12 months. I was proud of myself for lasting that long since I'm the first to breastfeed in my family.
-
I wanted to get to a year, but wasn't sure we'd even make it that long. But here We are at 18 months and still nursing. I don't know how long we'll continue. I'd like to let them self wean, but not sure if that'll really work.
-
I'm pretty whatever at this point--doing it as long as it doesn't cause me a ton of headaches, but I will 100% pump wean by then, if not before. I am so fucking over it already.
-
My goal was one year. Here we are at almost 21 months still going.
-
my goal was 6 months, but I knew 100% I'd be done by a year. HA! My LO was so tiny, and loved nursing so much that I just couldn't wean her, and I didn't see any reason to when the time came.
She tried to wean around a year but then pulled back on it and went back to nursing, and I just followed her lead. Honestly, i think she needed it to get through the 1 year molars.
she weaned herself with some gentle encouragement from me at 16 months.
-
My goal was 6, my cap was 12, I made it to 10. Happy medium for me.
-
Yep for three months afterwards. We weaned very slowly and it was the exact right pace for us.
-
I wanted to be done by 12. Almost at 14 months and struggling to wean still. Him, not me lol.
-
We started transitioning to cow's milk at 13 months, a little later than anticipated due to some allergen concerns (which turned out to be something else). We last nursed at 15 months.
-
I planned to wean by 15 months, not 12, but DD outwitted me and is still nursing a couple times a day at 23 months.
