Anyone still breastfeeding? If so when are you planning on weaning? I want to, but my son knows and is not interested. I read to eliminate one feeding and then wait another week to eliminate another. I also feel like people think I am weird for breastfeeding for so long.... But I don't really care....
Re: Breastfeeding
I am and I'm also pretty ready to be done. On one hand, I do love the closeness and he is sooooo cute the way he says "nuh nuh?" when he wants to nurse. We're down to morning and bedtime, so it's pretty easy but I have a 10-day trip coming up at the end of the summer and I don't want to deal with pumping, so I need to be done before then.
Although, I'm getting to the point where I greatly enjoy responding to the really in-your-face "You're still breastfeeding?!?!" comments with "Yep, and I'm just doing it to piss you off." Obviously, that's not why I'm doing it, but it's the one thing that finally seems to permanently shut them up.

Still BF'ing over here. He nurses 1-6 times per day, depending on a lot. I pretty much have no choice but to wean at the middle of the month because he will gone for 20 days. =[ I am super glad to have made it this long, and will be glad for my body to be mine again, but I am dreading it. I will miss it a lot, and still nurse him to nap, so that will be interesting.
Congratulations to everyone who BFed or is still BFing!
I just couldn't deal with that! I wish you the best for weaning and the upcoming absence of your LO!

LO had lost some interest around 10 months and I didn't push it too hard. It took me two months of eliminating one feeding at a time until she was gently and slowly weaned completely a little over 12 months. My big concern was moving too quickly-- i wanted to take her pace and make the transition easier for her.
