@littleblessings: I had the exact same fears at 10 months. I just couldn't fathom how we would ever get to a point where weaning wouldn't lead to massive meltdowns. I'm still pretty surprised but thank you for your kind words! I always build things up in my head to be terrible & she always surprises me!

One year with my first child, still nursing second child, my kids are 17 months apart--I dried up when I was pregnant with number 2.

Still nursing Miss A who is now 25 months although my milk dried up at around seventeen weeks pregnant (I'm now 23 weeks).

LO was EBF til a year. Then we introduced WCM and dropped to nursing morning and night only. She weaned completely at around 13.5 months. She's now 16 months.

I still nurse my EBF 8.5mo, but he gets a lot of calories from solids at this point.

@littleblessings: yeah I was so mad only because I suffered through the whole first tri sore boobs and breastfeeding and then to dry up...gahhhh. My doctor said it's totally common to dry up during pregnancy! Who knew?

@littleblessings: I am going to throw my pump out the window as soon as my ped lets me transition to WCM, which will probably be around 10 months.

Not sure about nursing though. I will at least offer to nurse in the morning and at bedtime til sometime between 12-15 months. I will not be too sad if he self-weans though because I am getting tired of it.

my LO is 17 months and I am 20 weeks pregnant and we are stilll bfing!

@littleblessings: Well, my long-term BFing goal was a year, and after that I stopped pumping (I didn't pump much anyway because I was a SAHM at the time and never needed much extra...). By 15 months he was down to 1 session a day, maybe 2, all at night/very early morning (more comfort than anything). Then he got sick for the first time and couldn't latch on because he was so congested. Since I wasn't pumping anymore my supply dried up (it was already pretty low by then). He asked for it once after he was well and we were both sad that it was over, but that was the only time (for him, anyway, I still get pangs of nostalgia for it sometimes).

So he kind of weaned himself? Even though it was less by choice and more by circumstance. I don't think it would have lasted much longer, though. I hadn't wanted to make the decision to wean, I had wanted it to come from him.

I'm breastfeeding my 9 month old.

I'm still nursing my 17.5 month old. I'm hoping he'll self wean but I'm not holding out hope! I'm almost 10 weeks pregnant and would like a little break between nursing babies!!

Currently nursing my 2 day old!! I breastfed my first until he was 14.5 months (he's now 21 months) and he self weaned. Hoping to make it to one year with #2.

@littleblessings: yep! Both of my kids have gotten lots of teeth early on.

I am still going strong at 9 months, we hope to make a year.

@littleblessings: yes! I just would sternly say "don't bite mama!" and they figured it out! haha.

@littleblessings: hmm, the biggest challenge with my first was the inconvenience of being out in public and finding a private place for a nursing session. With my second, I had to exclusively pump for the first 8 weeks since DD's latch was terrible at first but we would try once a day and finally, she got the hang of it. This time, nursing has been great but DD2 spits up A LOT which makes me feel like formula would be easier. Also, I've been sick a lot since DD2 was 2 months old so she's gotten a small amount of every medication I've been on

@littleblessings:
DS 1 would take a bottle no problem- tommee tippee brand
DS 2 never takes a bottle. We have tried 3 different kinds starting at 2 weeks and he's refused all of them.
