    I am.  I enjoy it and have no interest in stopping.  I have stopped pumping at work and DD is currently drinking 6 oz of thawed milk from my stash at day care, we will have to wean her to milk in a few weeks.  But I will continue to nurse indefinitely, I don't think I could tell her no. She does eat a lot of solids so I don't have to spend 24/7 with her anymore so that part it manageable.  If DH takes her somewhere he brings a pouch and some cheerios and she's fine.

    I still nurse him in the mornings and sometimes in the evening.  He is getting mostly WCM at daycare (2 oz of BM with 4 oz of WCM/bottle so far), though.  I plan to continue nursing him in the mornings and evenings until he says no or I completely dry up.  I enjoy our morning time together way too much to wean him completely right now.

    I will... very occasionally. He normally gets too distracted, and will only really nurse in the middle of the night when he still wakes up. I will pump until he turns a year.

    I am.  I work, so I pump during the day to send bottles to day care and then DS nurses in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends.  The amount I've been able to pump has tanked over the last couple of weeks, so we've started transitioning DS to WCM for his day care bottles, since he's only a week or so away from his birthday anyway.

    I'm still nursing.  I'm waiting until his first birthday to start the transition to WCM, so I'll continue to pump at work until the transition is complete.  Like others, I plan to continue to nurse morning and evening for a while.

    Still going strong here. Usually about four times a day and once at night. We will start wcm after her one year appointment. I never would have guessed we would be still nursing at or after one year.

    Great job for everyone still nursing!  I stopped at 4 months and have been pretty (ok, REALLY)  happy with that decision.  We are on WCM and table foods.

    Yup.  At least 4 times a day.  No idea when I'll stop.  I don't see the point.  BF is cheaper than whole milk.  And more nutritious.

    I am, 4-5 times a day.  At this point, I'm letting DS take the lead on weaning - all the things I thought before I had a baby are out the window!

    Still nursing here, too. Morning, when I get home from work, before bed, and sometime in the night (we co-sleep).

    I know this puts a monkey wrench into most of your comments but i also just found out that we are expecting our second baby...i know, i know lol but the doc says no reason to stop as of right now and she is only doing it basically in morning nap time and bedtime...sometimes when she gets sad she thinks she needs to nurse and i have noticed that she doesnt seem to stay latched long during the day, as if i have less milk. I love the connection i get when i nurse just to see her look up at me makes me soo happy and to tell her no when she starts to signal is near impossible :( but i know i really need to let it go..

    I am trying to ease DD into 1 bottle of cows milk per day. I like nursing and will continue a little longer but I am trying to get her used to cows milk but she hates it. I have also tried toddler formula...zero interest.

    I have been introducing cows milk in a hard top sippy cup at meal time...my LO loves water and she eats everything i put in front of her (especially vegetables) and i handed her the sippy she is used to having water in and she sucked it down..I feel it will be hard to switch formula out for cows milk but one step at a time :D good luck!!!
